“…the nest-coo in bilaterally OVX females (59). The ICo may also be important for controlling female quail tion and avoidance, fear and aggressive behaviours (64)(65)(66). Finally, sexual interactions induced FLI cells within the proceptive behaviour as suggested by the observation that, in the present study, the frequency of these behaviours was hyperstriatum ventrale (HV ) just lateral to the lateral ventricles and this activation was significantly correlated significantly correlated to ICo activation.…”

“…Proceptive behaviour of the female was nonetheless correlated with Fos activation in a neighbouring part of the archistriatum just lateral to the anterior commissure and occipitomesencephalic tract. The significance of this induction remains to be established, but it may be related to the activation of the limbic or sensorimotor system involved in copulatory performance as electrical stimulation of this region is associated with ovulation and avoidance, fear and aggressive behaviours ( 64–66).…”

Sexual interactions can cause changes in plasma hormone levels and activate immediate early genes within the mammalian brain. There are marked anatomical differences between the regions activated that relate directly to the sexual specific behaviour and neuroendocrinology of each sex. The aim of this study was to determine if such a sexual dimorphism exists in birds by examining the brain regions stimulated in adult virgin female Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) during sexual behaviour and comparing this to previously reported data concerning males. Female quail were allowed to freely interact with adult males and both female and male sexual behaviour was recorded. Contrary to previous findings in male quail, no significant induction of Fos-like immunoreactive (FLI) cells was observed following sexual interactions in the preoptic area of females; this area is fundamentally involved in the control of male-type copulatory behaviour. Sexual interactions significantly induced FLI cells in the hyperstriatum ventrale, the part of the archistriatum just lateral to the anterior commissure, and the nucleus intercollicularis. Moreover, prominent activation was detected throughout most of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, a region reported to be rich in oestrogen receptors. FLI induction was not a consequence of sexual behaviour induced changes in luteinizing hormone (LH) as plasma LH levels were unaltered. Instead, brain activation must be a consequence of copulation-associated somatosensory inputs or direct stimuli originating from the male. Male quail, like the majority of other birds, lack an intromittant organ (penis) so that the somatosensory inputs to the female are rather different from those in mammals; the precise nature of these inputs is yet to be determined.

“…Furthermore, electrical stimulation studies in owls have indicated a role of archistriatal input to the striatum in the generation of head saccades (Masino and Knudsen, 1993). Finally, a variety of studies have shown that the archistriatum is important for a wide range of behaviors, from visually guided behavior to song control and feeding and from fear-and aggression-related behaviors to gastrointestinal functions and ovulation (Kalischer, 1905;Juhasz and van Tienhoven, 1964;Phillips, 1964;Zeier, 1971Zeier, , 1974. Whether these roles are mediated by projections to the striatum or by extratelencephalic projections is unknown.…”

Birds have well-developed basal ganglia within the telencephalon, including a striatum consisting of the medially located lobus parolfactorius (LPO) and the laterally located paleostriatum augmentatum (PA). Relatively little is known, however, about the extent and organization of the telencephalic "cortical" input to the avian basal ganglia (i.e., the avian "corticostriatal" projection system). Using retrograde and anterograde neuroanatomical pathway tracers to address this issue, we found that a large continuous expanse of the outer pallium projects to the striatum of the basal ganglia in pigeons. This expanse includes the Wulst and archistriatum as well as the entire outer rind of the pallium intervening between Wulst and archistriatum, termed by us the pallium externum (PE). In addition, the caudolateral neostriatum (NCL), pyriform cortex, and hippocampal complex also give rise to striatal projections in pigeon. A restricted number of these pallial regions (such as the "limbic" NCL, pyriform cortex, and ventral/caudal parts of the archistriatum) project to such ventral striatal structures as the olfactory tubercle (TO), nucleus accumbens (Ac), and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Such "limbic" pallial areas also project to medialmost LPO and lateralmost PA, while the hyperstriatum accessorium portion of the Wulst, the PE, and the dorsal parts of the archistriatum were found to project primarily to the remainder of LPO (the lateral two-thirds) and PA (the medial four-fifths). The available evidence indicates that the diverse pallial regions projecting to the striatum in birds, as in mammals, are parts of higher order sensory or motor systems. The extensive corticostriatal system in both birds and mammals appears to include two types of pallial neurons: 1) those that project to both striatum and brainstem (i.e., those in the Wulst and the archistriatum) and 2) those that project to striatum but not to brainstem (i.e., those in the PE). The lack of extensive corticostriatal projections from either type of neuron in anamniotes suggests that the anamniote-amniote evolutionary transition was marked by the emergence of the corticostriatal projection system as a prominent source of sensory and motor information for the striatum, possibly facilitating the role of the basal ganglia in movement control.
