cognition

What we're doing is trying to design sessions but with cognition or neuroscience at the centre of it.

Your species is almost otherwise identical to humans, except you require Nuronium in the atmosphere for normal cognition.

But both animals have a similar number of neurons in their pallium, a brain region that’s associated with cognition.

So while corvid brains travelled a very different evolutionary path than primate brains, it was still one that brought them sophisticated cognition.
