JN-00467-2004.R1: FINAL ACCEPTED VERSION Sequential learning from multiple tutors and serial retuning of auditory neurons in a brain area important to birdsong learning

Use it or lose it. Focus on: "sequential learning from multiple tutors and serial returning of auditory neurons in a brain area important to birdsong learning".

What is the long-term vocal effect of that year spent in France at the impressionable age of 2 yr? Will you be able to order a meal in French when you return to Paris 20 yr later? Yazaki-Sugiyama and Mooney (this issue p. 2771–2788) have looked at the neurophysiological correlates of such early auditory and vocal experiences in a songbird, the zebra finch, that was raised with two successive tu...

Effect of Vitamin D3 on Improvement of Learning and Spatial Memory Following Demyelination induction in hippocampal CA1 Area of rat

Introduction: Consumption of vitamin D3 is effective to reduce intensity of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Neurons of the central nervous system are constantly exposed to reactive oxygen species and these factors play a key role in the destruction of myelin and damage of axons. The hippocampus is a vital center for learning and memory in central nervous system. This area is ...

Song-selective auditory circuits in the vocal control system of the zebra finch.

Birdsong is a learned behavior controlled by a distinct set of brain nuclei. The song nuclei known as area X, the medial nucleus of the dorsolateral thalamus (DLM), and the lateral magnocellular nucleus of the anterior neostriatum (L-MAN) form a pathway that plays an important but unknown role in song learning. One function served by this circuit might be auditory feedback, which is critical to...

Neuronal activity in the rodent dorsal striatum in sequential navigation: Separation of spatial and reward responses on the multiple T task Running head: Striatal activity in sequential navigation

The striatum plays an important role in “habitual” learning and memory, and has been hypothesized to implement a reinforcement-learning algorithm in order to select actions to perform given the current sensory input. Many experimental approaches to striatal activity have made use of temporally structured tasks, which imply that the striatal representation is temporal. To test this assumption, w...
