Hippocampus and memory for food caches in black-capped chickadees.
Abstract
Black-capped chickadees and other food-storing birds recover their scattered caches by remembering the spatial locations of cache sites. Bilateral hippocampal aspiration reduced the accuracy of cache recovery by chickadees to the chance rate, but it did not reduce the amount of caching or the number of attempts to recover caches. In a second experiment, hippocampal aspiration dissociated performance of a task requiring memory for places from performance of a task requiring memory for cues associated with food, disrupting the former but not the latter

As a whole, these results indicate that teleost fish, like mammals, birds, and reptilians, can use allocentric strategies to solve spatial tasks.
“As a whole, these results indicate that teleost fish, like mammals [39,48,65,68,96], birds [97,98,99,100], and reptilians [101,102], can use allocentric strategies to solve spatial tasks.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
