Neurobiological Correlates of Enhanced Cognition and Sociability in Urban Birds.

Urbanization triggers behavioral changes in animals, yet its impact on neurobiology is unexplored. Here we investigate how urbanization affects behavior and neurobiology in a human commensal bird, Eurasian tree sparrow.城市化可诱导动物行为发生改变，但其对神经生物学的影响尚未得到探究。本研究以与人共栖的鸟类欧亚树麻雀（Eurasian tree sparrow）为研究对象，探究城市化对其行为与神经生物学的影响。
