In tests, two crows took an average of 235 milliseconds to identify the direction of a moving dot pattern and indicate their choice. Neural signals in the birds began to diverge just 70 milliseconds after the visual stimulus appeared. Scientists suggest this compact nervous system speed helps birds navigate and fly safely.Why it mattersMuch of historical scientific understanding regarding decision-making speed
