Abstract：
:As research neurobiologists, we pursue specific questions, and the answers rendered are also correspondingly specific. Our goal, however, is to understand an entire system or the whole organism. To that end, it is not only useful, but sometimes also necessary, that we periodically reappraise a body of specific data in light of current knowledge of the field at large. In this spirit, the present paper reviews my work on the neural and hormonal mechanisms underlying the reproductive system of ring doves and others' studies of songbirds. By integrating these fields I then advance the concept that inherent in the avian breeding system is the mechanism of "state-reading" (a term fashioned after "mindreading", which was coined by cognitive neuroscientists). State-reading helps to coordinate a sequence of endocrine and behavioral events to realize a desired objective, in this case, successful reproduction.
