Abstract
Vocalizations from songbirds have been evoked by electrical stimulation of the torus. These vocalizations resemble the normal alarm and scolding calls of the species. The torus of the birds appears to correspond functionally and anatomically to the mammalian central gray matter.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
