DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Onur Güntürkün\nhosted by Sandra Siegert\nAbstract:
  Abstract:Great apes like chimpanzees are smart and have a large neocortex
 . In comparison\, birds like corvids and parrots have much smaller brains 
 and no neocortex. This should cast a dim prospect on their cognitive abili
 ties. But studies of the last two decades revealed that there is not a sin
 gle cognitive ability of chimpanzees (brain weight 400g) that was not also
  demonstrated in corvids and parrots (brain weights 5-25g). How is that po
 ssible? This question keeps me awake because it challenges core assumption
 s of the neural fundaments of complex cognition. I guess\, I must travel b
 ack into the beginnings of terrestrial vertebrate evolution to find answer
 s. This talk is about this journey.
