Syllable chunking in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) song.
We examined how 61 young zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) males copied song from 5 adult tutors. Zebra finch song consists of a string of 5-15 distinct syllables, and these syllables were copied as chunks, or strings of consecutive syllables (modal length = 3). The silent interval between 2 syllables was copied as part of the syllable after the silence. Copied chunks had boundaries that fell a...
متن کاملDrinking Songs: Alcohol Effects on Learned Song of Zebra Finches
Speech impairment is one of the most intriguing and least understood effects of alcohol on cognitive function, largely due to the lack of data on alcohol effects on vocalizations in the context of an appropriate experimental model organism. Zebra finches, a representative songbird and a premier model for understanding the neurobiology of vocal production and learning, learn song in a manner ana...
متن کاملShort-term and long-term effects of vocal distortion on song maintenance in zebra finches.
Adult zebra finch song is irreversibly altered when birds are deprived of correct feedback by deafening or denervation of the syrinx. To clarify the role of feedback in song maintenance, we developed a reversible technique to distort vocal output without damaging the auditory or vocal systems. We implanted flexible beads adjacent to the syrinx to alter its biomechanics. Immediate song aberratio...
متن کاملTitle: Song Decrystallization in Adult Zebra Finches Does Not Require the Song Nucleus 1
35 In adult male zebra finches, transecting the vocal nerve causes previously stable (i.e., 36 crystallized) song to slowly degrade, presumably because of the resulting distortion in 37 auditory feedback. How and where distorted feedback interacts with song motor 38 networks to induce this process of song decrystallization remains unknown. The song 39 premotor nucleus HVC is a potential site wh...
