The anterior forebrain (AF) pathlectivity for both tutor song and BOS (in this case, way of songbirds has an essential but poorly underplastic song). The degree of BOS selectivity is still stood function during song learning, a process requirless than that found in adults, however. In addition, ing
When songbirds hear the song of another individual of the same species or when they sing, the mRNA levels of the ZENK gene increase rapidly in forebrain areas involved in vocal communication. This gene induction is thought to be related to long-term neuronal change and possibly the formation of song
Adult songbirds can incorporate new neurons into HVc, a telencephalic song control nucleus. Neuronal incorporation into HVc is greater in the fall than in the spring in adult canaries (open-ended song learners) and is temporally related to seasonal song modification. We used the western song sparrow
