As described in the chapter, Healey and Krebs (1992) examined the relationship between hippocampal volume and food-storing behavior in seven species of corvid birds. The authors found a strong positive correlation between hippocampal volume and the extent to which these birds store food (i.e., the hippocampus was larger in species that stored large quantities of food). Do these data provide conclusive evidence that the hippocampus is responsible for aspects of foraging related to spatial memory? If so, support your answer. If not, design an experiment that could shed light on the relationship between the hippocampus and food-storing behavior.
