Modulation of perineuronal nets and parvalbumin with developmental song learning.

12 Oct 2009 Neural circuits and behavior are shaped during developmental phases of maximal plasticity known as sensitive or critical periods. Neural correlates of sensory critical periods have been identified, but their roles remain unclear. Factors that define ... Read more...

Increased expression of the NR2A NMDA receptor subunit in the prefrontal cortex of rats reared in isolation.

29 Sep 2009 A hypofunction of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Compelling evidence of altered NMDA receptor subunit expression in the schizophrenic brain has not, however, so far emerged. Rats ... Read more...

Factors limiting song acquisition in adult zebra finches.

13 Sep 2009 Song learning takes place in two separate or partially overlapping periods, a sensory phase in which a tutor song is memorized and a sensorimotor phase in which a copy of the model is produced. The stage of song development where song becomes stable ... Read more...
