Developmental song learning in the zebra finch
Developmental learning (for example, speech acquisition in human infants) takes place early in life but its effects may last the entire lifetime of the individual. Developmental learning is difficult to study because the behavioral changes involved span many time scales: The challenge is to relate the developmental parameters to behavioral changes, which can occur within hours as well as across...
متن کاملDevelopmental Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls Influences Stroke Outcome in Adult Rats
BACKGROUND The "developmental origins of adult disease" hypothesis was originally derived from evidence linking low birth weight to cardiovascular diseases including stroke. Subsequently, it has been expanded to include developmental exposures to environmental contaminants as risk factors for adult onset disease. OBJECTIVE Our goal in this study was to test the hypothesis that developmental e...
متن کاملFlight performance in the altricial zebra finch: Developmental effects and reproductive consequences
The environmental conditions animals experience during development can have sustained effects on morphology, physiology, and behavior. Exposure to elevated levels of stress hormones (glucocorticoids, GCs) during development is one such condition that can have long-term effects on animal phenotype. Many of the phenotypic effects of GC exposure during development (developmental stress) appear neg...
متن کاملMercury Reduces Avian Reproductive Success and Imposes Selection: An Experimental Study with Adult- or Lifetime-Exposure in Zebra Finch
Mercury is a global pollutant that biomagnifies in food webs, placing wildlife at risk of reduced reproductive fitness and survival. Songbirds are the most diverse branch of the avian evolutionary tree; many are suffering persistent and serious population declines and we know that songbirds are frequently exposed to mercury pollution. Our objective was to determine the effects of environmentall...
متن کاملA Volumetric Analysis of the Adult Zebra Finch Brain after Single and Repetitive Ecstasy Exposure
Introduction – The use of the recreational drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, or more commonly, Ecstasy) has increased worldwide in recent years, especially among young adolescents. The drug is mainly used by people aged 18-30 years—though users include pre-teen adolescents—and most often in a binge pattern. Unlike most other drugs of abuse, MDMA is not physically addictive, and many...
