Self-organization of songbird neural sequences during social isolation

Emily L Mackevicius et al.
eLife | May 30, 2023
Emily L. Mackevicius et al., using the Inscopix nVista tool, investigated whether the formation of sequences in the high vocal center (HVC) of songbirds depends on prior exposure to a tutor song. They found that even in...

Identification of a motor-to-auditory pathway important for vocal learning

Todd F Roberts et al.
Nature Neuroscience | May 15, 2017
Learning to vocalize depends on the ability to adaptively modify the temporal and spectral features of vocal elements. Neurons that convey motor-related signals to the auditory system are theorized to facilitate vocal...

Mesoscopic patterns of neural activity support songbird cortical sequences

Jeffrey E. Markowitz et al.
PLOS Biology | June 3, 2015
Time-locked sequences of neural activity can be found throughout the vertebrate forebrain in various species and behavioral contexts. From “time cells” in the hippocampus of rodents to cortical activity controlling...
