Large-scale network organization in the avian forebrain: a connectivity matrix and theoretical analysis.
<22>This paper reports an important scientific milestone: the first large-scale connectome for the brain of a bird. This is also the first such “wiring diagram” for any non-mammalian vertebrate, and only the fifth for any species. The paper also demonstrates remarkable parallels with mammalian brain organisation. The paper was selected for "media promotion" by the journal, appeared as an Imperial College news item, and was featured on Nature's Facebook page. It was also picked up by science and news websites worldwide, including ScienceOmega, Medical News Today, Science World Report, and New Indian Express:
