A research article recently published in PNAS by Agarwal and colleagues (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 120(5), Article e2212418120, 2023) identified place cells in the brain of flying birds, specifically in the anterior hippocampus and in a neighbouring region, the posterior hyperpallium apicale, with fewer detected in a more distant visual area. In contrast to mammalian place cells, these avian place cells changed based on the direction of flight.
最近，Agarwal 及其同事在 PNAS 上发表的一篇研究文章（美国国家科学院院刊，120（5），Article e2212418120，2023）在飞行鸟类的大脑中发现了位置细胞，特别是在前海马体和相邻的后顶叶，在更远的视觉区域中检测到的位置细胞较少。与哺乳动物的位置细胞不同，这些鸟类的位置细胞根据飞行方向而变化。
