人类大脑在其进化史上积累了许多有用的构建模块，而对这些模块的最佳了解往往来自于在动物物种中进行的实验，这些动物物种显示出精细的磨练能力。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了一个模型系统在调查的最前沿的神经基础的信息处理，可塑性和学习：仓鸮听觉定位通路。除了从这个系统30年的工作中收集到的广泛适用的原则外，我们有充分的理由相信，对猫头鹰大脑的持续探索将对进一步理解神经网络如何引起行为的进步非常宝贵。
The human brain has accumulated many useful building blocks over its evolutionary history, and the best knowledge of these has often derived from experiments performed in animal species that display finely honed abilities. In this article we review a model system at the forefront of investigation into the neural bases of information processing, plasticity, and learning: the barn owl auditory localization pathway. In addition to the broadly applicable principles gleaned from three decades of work in this system, there are good reasons to believe that continued exploration of the owl brain will be invaluable for further advances in understanding of how neuronal networks give rise to behavior.
