如果一只视觉幼稚的雏鸟接触到一系列显眼的物体，雏鸟可能会学会它的特征。一系列的生物化学研究表明，前脑的一个限制部分参与了这一印记过程;一个特定的区域（IMHV）已经被确定，这可能是一个信息存储的场所。突触形态的变化发生在这个区域作为训练的结果。左右IMHV区域在印迹过程中起着不同的作用。暴露于一个简单的人造物体，一个旋转的红盒子，与暴露于一个复杂的物体，一个旋转的填充原鸡，类似于同种的神经后果不同。这些差异可能与两个训练对象的复杂性差异有关。另一种可能性是，两个神经系统与印记有关：（a）一个系统是接近类似同种物体的倾向的基础;（B）一个学习系统，IMHV是其中的一个关键组成部分，它与特定物体有关，在“自然”环境中也允许小鸡学习其母亲的特征。
If a visually naive chick is exposed to one of a wide range of conspicuous objects, the chick may learn its characteristics. A series of biochemical studies has implicated a restricted part of the forebrain in this process of imprinting; a specific region (IMHV) has been identified which may be a site of information storage. Changes in the morphology of synapses occur in this region as a consequence of training. The left and right IMHV regions play different roles in the imprinting process. Exposure to a simple artificial object, a rotating red box, has different neural consequences from those associated with exposure to a complex object, a rotating stuffed jungle fowl, which resembles a conspecific. These differences may be related to the differences in complexity of the two training objects. Another possibility is that two neural systems are implicated in imprinting:(a) a system that underlies a predisposition to approach objects resembling conspecifics and (b) a learning system, of which IMHV is a crucial component, that is engaged by particular objects and that in “natural” circumstances also allows the chick to learn the characteristics of its mother.
