Vocal experimentation in the juvenile songbird requires a basal ganglia circuit

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: PLoS BIOLOGY and colleagues from the McGovern InstituteHarvard University have published the research: Vocal Experimentation in the Juvenile Songbird Requires a Basal Ganglia Circuit, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show that vocal variability in the learning is induced by basal-ganglia-related the output of which projects to the motor pathway via the lateral magnocellular nucleus of the nidopallium (LMAN).
• how: To quantify song variability experiments were carried out in slightly older birds with less sequence and acoustic variability (n=6 birds age range 59-72 dph) .
• future . . .
