I began a 6-week training program to teach my pet parrot, Jaffar, to say my name. On week 2,
Jaffar accidentally flew into my living room window and sustained a concussion. During his
recovery, I continued to train Jaffar regularly, but he couldn't say my name. In week 5,
however, he appeared to have had a miraculous recovery because he was able to say my
name all of a sudden. In fact, he was really good at it-almost as if he'd been learning all
along. Jaffar likely damaged his:
O lateral interpositus nucleus
O basal ganglia
O hippocampus
O red nucleus
