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...

Differential responsiveness in brain and behavior to sexually dimorphic long calls in male and female zebra finches.

29 Sep 2009 In zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), as in most other songbird species, there are robust sex differences in brain morphology and vocal behavior. First, male zebra finches have larger song system nuclei--involved in sensorimotor learning and ... 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...
