Birds have much smaller brains than humans. They also lack the cerebral cortex, where human thinking takes place. However, the density of neurons in a bird's brain is higher. In other words, birds pack more brainpower into less space. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/N. Bergenthal/O. Roetz/WENDEVARGA/Maximilia

When there is a chemical imbalance in the body, such as during stress, endocannabinoids are released. They bind to the matching receptors, regulating the activity of the nerve cells. This allows the body to counteract the imbalance. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/J. v. Kalkreuth/M. Richter-Jähring/D. da Cruz
An analog compass responds to the Earth's magnetic field. A digital smartphone compass, however, works without a magnetic needle. The job of the magnetic needle is taken over by a sensor made of three layers. Authors: ZDF/3sat/nano/Autorenkombinat/Josephine Blume, Holger Barthel, Ingo Schwarz /Alex
