Researchers shined different angles of light into extremely thin slices of the pallium, the area of bird brains with a similar function to the neocortex of mammals.

研究人员角度的光照射到极薄的大脑皮层切片上，大脑皮层是鸟大脑的区域，与哺乳物的新皮质具有相似的功能。

The fibers of owls and pigeons were organized much like those of mammals: parallel fibers along the pallium were crosscut by perpendicular fibers between layers, forming columns of connection.

猫头鹰和鸽子的纤维组织得很像哺乳物的纤维：沿着钯的平行纤维被层之间的垂直纤维横切，形成连接柱。
