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.

Smooth operator: Avoidance of subharmonic bifurcations through mechanical mechanisms simplifies song motor control in adult zebra finches [PDF]
, 2010 Like human infants, songbirds acquire their song by imitation and eventually generate sounds that result from complicated neural networks and intrinsically nonlinear physical processes. Signatures of low-dimensional chaos such as subharmonic bifurcations

The domestication of the larynx: The neural crest connection
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 4, Page 342-349, June 2024.We outline the developmental link between the larynx and the neural crest. This connection provides a powerful test of the predictions of the most prominent hypothesis in domestication research, the neural crest domestication syndrome hypothesis. Abstract Wolves howl and dogs bark, both are able to produce variants of either vocalization, but we see a ...

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

Physiological Reports, Volume 12, Issue 11, June 2024.Abstract Solute carrier family 26 (Slc26) is a family of anion exchangers with 11 members in mammals (named Slc26a1‐a11). Here, we identified a novel member of the slc26 family, slc26a12, located in tandem with slc26a2 in the genomes of several vertebrate lineages.

Protein-Protein Interaction Among the FoxP Family Members and their Regulation of Two Target Genes, VLDLR and CNTNAP2 in the Zebra Finch Song System [PDF]
, 2017 The Forkhead transcription factor FOXP2 is implicated in speech perception and production. The avian homolog, FoxP21 contributes to song learning and production in birds.

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 ...

A general auditory bias for handling speaker variability in speech? Evidence in humans and songbirds [PDF]
, 2015 Different speakers produce the same speech sound differently, yet listeners are still able to reliably identify the speech sound. How listeners can adjust their perception to compensate for speaker differences in speech, and whether these compensatory ...

Distribution And Abundance Of Glucocorticoid And Mineralocorticoid Receptors Throughout The Brain Of The Great Tit (Parus Major) [PDF]
, 2016 The glucocorticoid stress response, regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, enables individuals to cope with stressors through transcriptional effects in cells expressing the appropriate receptors.
