A great deal is now known about the cellular changes which take
place in neural circuits and, over the past twenty years, the chick
has proved to be an invaluable model for work on memory formation.
The prior experience of the chick is controllable in a way that is
impossible to match in any other vertebrate, and the pharmacology
and phases of memory formation are better established. In addition,
the anatomy of the chick brain is now well established, allowing
valuable comparisons with animal models. This book reviews all the
main aspects of work on learning and plasticity in behaviour and
neural mechanisms in the chick, together with related topics such
as the development of behaviour and lateralization of function. It
is an authoritative reference for researchers who wish to use the
chick or to draw on the relevant literature. The aim is to
introduce a wider audience to the chick as an experimental model
and to describe the way in which it has been used in the
investigation of learning and plasticity at every level, from the
behavioural to the molecular. The authors are all experts in their
field, from laboratories throughout the world. The book will be
useful to all researchers in the field and of interest to
psychologists, neurophysiologists, and those studying animal
behaviour.
