European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 61, Issue 9, May 2025.Although female zebra finches do not learn vocalizations, they possess brain structures analogous to those of males that use these structures to learn a large part of their vocal output, such as song. We wirelessly recorded neural signals from one of these brain areas, premotor nucleus RA, simultaneously with the vocal output from freely behaving ...

Exploring Anatomical Links Between the Crow's Nidopallium Caudolaterale and Its Song System
Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 2, February 2025.The crow's nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL) projects densely to the dorsal intermediate arcopallium (AID) and the striatum, paralleling important song system pathways. Connections from the magnocellular nucleus of the anterior nidopallium (MAN) to NCL and HVC run in parallel but remain distinct.

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2024.The prolactin receptor has many conserved features across species, and these are all subject to a complex regulation at the level of gene transcription. This figure depicts the structure of different isoforms of the prolactin receptor in representative human, rodent, ungulate, avian, and reptile species.

Mate choice in adult female Bengalese finches: females express consistent preferences for individual males and prefer female-directed song performances. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the process of mate selection by female songbirds, male suitors advertise their quality through reproductive displays in which song plays an important role.

Sexual differences in cell proliferation in the ventricular zone, cell migration and differentiation in the HVC of juvenile Bengalese finch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Song control nuclei have distinct sexual differences and thus are an ideal model to address how brain areas are sexually differentiated. Through a combination of histological analysis and electrical lesions, we first identified the ventricle site for HVC

Volatile organic compounds in preen oil and feathers – a review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 1085-1099, June 2024.ABSTRACT For a long time birds were assumed to be anosmic or at best microsmatic, with olfaction a poorly understood and seldom investigated part of avian physiology. The full viability of avian olfaction was first discovered through its functions in navigation and foraging. Subsequently, researchers have investigated the role of olfaction in different

Relationship between the Sequencing and Timing of Vocal Motor Elements in Birdsong. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Accurate coordination of the sequencing and timing of motor gestures is important for the performance of complex and evolutionarily relevant behaviors. However, the degree to which motor sequencing and timing are related remains largely unknown. Birdsong

Semi-automatic classification of birdsong elements using a linear support vector machine. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Birdsong provides a unique model for understanding the behavioral and neural bases underlying complex sequential behaviors. However, birdsong analyses require laborious effort to make the data quantitatively analyzable.

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2024.Domestication syndrome is a well‐known phenomenon that is receiving increasing attention. However, debate persists regarding the existence of this phenomenon. We selectively bred mice exhibiting high levels of tameness and found that highly tamed mice displayed increased sociability; however, no changes were observed in domestication syndrome ...
