Local field potentials in a pre-motor region predict learned vocal sequences.
Neuronal activity within the premotor region HVC is tightly synchronized to, and crucial for, the articulate production of learned song in birds. Characterizations of this neural activity detail patterns of sequential bursting in small, carefully ...

How the brain learns and generates temporal sequences is a fundamental issue in neuroscience. The production of birdsongs, a process which involves complex learned sequences, provides researchers with an excellent biological model for this topic.

Striatal Injury Induces Overall Brain Alteration at the Pallial, Thalamic, and Cerebellar Levels
The striatal region Area X plays an important role during song learning, sequencing, and variability in songbirds. A previous study revealed that neurotoxic damage within Area X results in micro and macrostructural changes across the entire brain ...

Teaching and Evaluating High-Value Care Through a Novel Case-Based Morning Report Curriculum
Introduction It's the responsibility of medical educators to train residents to be responsible stewards of finite health care resources. Thus, we developed an interactive morning report curriculum that focuses on high-value care (HVC) decision making ...

A Faculty Development Workshop for High-Value Care Education Across Clinical Settings
Introduction Despite rising health care costs, trainees frequently do not receive formal high-value care (HVC) training. As medical education often occurs through informal learning, it is imperative that medical educators be prepared to teach HVC ...

Influence of testosterone metabolites on song-control system neuroplasticity during photostimulation in adult European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). [PDF]
The song-control system is a network of discrete nuclei in the songbird brain that controls the production and learning of birdsong and exhibits some of the best-studied neuroplasticity found in the adult brain.

Control of vocal and respiratory patterns in birdsong: dissection of forebrain and brainstem mechanisms using temperature. [PDF]
Learned motor behaviors require descending forebrain control to be coordinated with midbrain and brainstem motor systems. In songbirds, such as the zebra finch, regular breathing is controlled by brainstem centers, but when the adult songbird begins to ...

HVCs, infall and the Galactic Fountain [PDF]
AbstractHigh-velocity clouds (HVCs) consist of gas that does not take part in normal Galactic rotation, having velocities deviating by up to 400 km s−1 from those expected from rotation. Over the past five decades, studies have shown they these clouds trace a number of different processes, including the Galactic Fountain, tidal streams, and infall ...

EM connectomics reveals axonal target variation in a sequence-generating network
The sequential activation of neurons has been observed in various areas of the brain, but in no case is the underlying network structure well understood.
