We tested whether the avian anterior forebrain pathway functions in song perception in female canaries, and whether it is specialized for conspecific song perception or functions more generally in auditory perception. Using operant conditioning methods, we trained female canaries to discriminate amo

In the top panel of Figure 4, the song nucleus IMAN is erronesouly shown as being located in the hyperstriatum ventrale. LMAN is located in the neostriatum, as shown in the other panels of this figure and in Figure 8.
## Abstract The contribution of social factors to seasonal plasticity in singing behavior and forebrain nuclei controlling song, and their interplay with gonadal steroid hormones are still poorly understood. In many songbird species, testosterone (T) enhances singing behavior but elevated plasma T
The neural system controlling song in birds has proven a useful model for investigating how neuronal growth and survival are regulated by sexual differentiation. The present study focused on one song control area, the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA), and explored how sex differences in the
