Song decrystallization in adult zebra finches does not require the song nucleus NIf.
In adult male zebra finches, transecting the vocal nerve causes previously stable (i.e., crystallized) song to slowly degrade, presumably because of the resulting distortion in auditory feedback. How and where distorted feedback interacts with song motor networks to induce this process of song decrystallization remains unknown. The song premotor nucleus HVC is a potential site where auditory fe...

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...
متن کاملChanges in adult zebra finch song require a forebrain nucleus that is not necessary for song production.
Male zebra finches normally crystallize song at approximately 90 days and do not show vocal plasticity as adults. However, changes to adult song do occur after unilateral tracheosyringeal (ts) nerve injury, which denervates one side of the vocal organ. We examined the effect of placing bilateral lesions in LMAN (a nucleus required for song development but not for song maintenance in adults) upo...
متن کاملFemale zebra finches require early song exposure to prefer high-quality song as adults
Song learning in songbirds has been studied extensively in males but not in females. Females prefer songs previously heard, but it is not known whether opportunity for learning during the juvenile period affects the ability of females to judge song quality. We show that early exposure to adult song is required in the development of normal adult female zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata, song pref...
متن کاملAdult zebra finches rehearse highly variable song patterns during sleep
Brain activity during sleep is fairly ubiquitous and the best studied possible function is a role in memory consolidation, including motor memory. One suggested mechanism of how neural activity effects these benefits is through reactivation of neurons in patterns resembling those of the preceding experience. The specific patterns of motor activation replayed during sleep are largely unknown for...
