According to the longstanding model of vernal recrudescence of the songbird vocal control system, upregulation of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal axis, and specifically testosterone (T), promotes growth first of HVC, and then Area X. In this study, we show that in black‐capped chickadees, Area X is already fully recrudesced ahead of HPG axis ...

Abstract Estrogens produced in peripheral tissues and locally in the brain are potent neuromodulators. The function of the hippocampus, a brain region essential for episodic memory and spatial navigation, relies on the activity of ensembles of excitatory neurons whose activity is temporally and spatially coordinated by a wide diversity of inhibitory ...
