Local field potentials in a pre-motor region predict learned vocal sequences.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2021
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 ...

Cooperation of deterministic dynamics and random noise in production of complex syntactical avian song sequences: a neural network model

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2011
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.

Surgical Results in One-level Vertebroplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture in Thoracic or Lumbar Spine: Radiographic Comparison between Low-viscosity Cement and High-viscosity Cement

open access: yesFormosan Journal of Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a highly effective procedure for managing painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures (VFs). Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study was to compare the surgical outcomes of patients treated with

Striatal Injury Induces Overall Brain Alteration at the Pallial, Thalamic, and Cerebellar Levels

open access: yesBiology, 2022
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

open access: yesMedEdPORTAL, 2016
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

open access: yesMedEdPORTAL, 2018
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012
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

open access: yeseLife, 2017
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.
