Understanding the representation of learned skills in the brain requires that one know the neural substrate for those skills. The avian song control system uses auditory information to establish and modify motor programs, which provide patterns for the excitation of individual muscles. In the presen

Sex differences in the vertebrate brain (brain sex) are thought to develop owing to the tissue specific action of gonadal hormones similar to the development of secundary sex characteristics of the body. Small sex differences in body anatomy could, however, retrogradely control the sexual differenti
A common theme of diverse neural systems is that circuits that are important for initial acquisition of learning do not necessarily serve as a substrate for the long-term storage of that memory. The neural basis of vocal learning in songbirds provides an example of this phenomenon, since a circuit t
