1. The Rich Club of the Avian Brain

   • Murray Shanahan, Professor of Cognitive Robotics

   Imperial College London

   The authors write "So far, the rich-club has been conceptualized as a large-scale brain network phenomenon in adult humans (van den Heuvel and Sporns, 2011), human newborns (Ball et al., 2014), macaque monkey (Harriger et al., 2012), the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans (Towlson et al., 2013), and mouse hippocampus (Schroeter et al., 2015)."

   This list should have included the pigeon (Shanahan, et al., 2014):
