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.

研究人员将不同光照射到极薄大脑皮层切片上，大脑皮层是鸟大脑区域，与哺乳动物新皮质具有相似功。

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.

猫头鹰和鸽子纤维组织得很像哺乳动物纤维：沿着钯平行纤维被层之间垂直纤维横切，形成连接柱。
