Dynamics and development of interhemispheric conflict solving in pigeons.

The dominance of one hemisphere for cognitive operations and decision making may be an efficient mechanism solving interhemispheric conflicts. To understand the ecological significance of the so-called metacontrol, we need better knowledge of its frequency and ontogenetic foundations. Since in pigeons, embryonic light experiences influence degree and direction of interhemispheric specialization and communication, it is conceivable that light affects metacontrol mechanisms.

The objective of this study is to assess the embryological and morphometric development of the chick cerebrum during specific incubation periods. The cerebrums of 24 Babcock White Leghorn chicks, six each from the 10th, 13th, 16th and 21st days of the incubation period, were used in the study. After removing the heads of fixed embryos from the upper edge of the atlas, the brains were taken out of the cranial cavity.

Social and sensory experiences across the lifespan can shape social interactions, however, experiencedependent plasticity is widely studied within discrete life stages. In the socially monogamous zebra finch, in which females use learned vocal signals to identify individuals and form long-lasting pair bonds, developmental exposure to song is key for females to show species-typical song perception and preferences. While adult mating experience can still lead to pair-bonding and song preference learning even in birds with limited previous song exposure ("song-naïve"), whether similarities in adult behavioral plasticity between normally-reared and song-naïve females reflect convergent patterns of neural activity is unknown.

: Transcriptome assembly and functional annotation are essential in understanding gene expression and biological function. Nevertheless, many existing pipelines lack the flexibility to integrate both short- and long-read sequencing data or fail to provide a complete, customizable workflow for transcriptome analysis, particularly for non-model organisms. : We present TrAnnoScope, a transcriptome analysis pipeline designed to process Illumina short-read and PacBio long-read data.
