The behavioral and neuronal bases of executive function have been well studied in neuropsychological patients (12 ⇓ — 14) and with functional neuroimaging (9, 12, 15 ⇓ — 17), which confirm that executive function is supported by a network of brain regions, primarily involving the frontal lobes and the posterior parietal cortex (9, 12, 15 ⇓ — 17).

Either their last common ancestor passed the neuronal basis to birds and mammals. (sciencedaily.com)
Using specially designed methods to record song and brain activity, a team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen has now found the neuronal basis of unlearned call communication. (sciencedaily.com)
