Dynamic variation in forebrain estradiol levels during song learning.

Estrogens shape brain circuits during development, and the capacity to synthesize estrogens locally has consequences for both sexual differentiation and the acute modulation of circuits during early learning. A recently optimized method to detect and quantify fluctuations in brain estrogens in vivo provides a direct means to explore how brain estrogen production contributes to both differentiat...

Elevated aromatase activity in forebrain synaptic terminals during song.

The enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into oestrogens, is expressed throughout the brain in zebra finches. Aromatase is enzymatically active in both cell bodies and synaptic terminals of neurones of the songbird brain, particularly within the forebrain motor and auditory networks. Aromatisation within synaptic terminals could thus provide localised and acute modulatory oestrogens withi...

Dual role for forebrain song nuclei

Precise coordination across hemispheres is a critical feature of many complex motor circuits. In the avian song system, nucleus RA plays a key role in such coordination. It is simultaneously the major output structure for the descending vocal motor pathway and it also sends inputs to structures in the brainstem and thalamus that project bilaterally back to the forebrain. Because all birds lack ...

Avian brain plasticity evident during song learning

ers to understand an enzyme’s mode of action, enabling observation of transient intermediates, conformational changes, and the determination of rate constants. Such information can be difficult to obtain because Brownian motion prevents solution-phase molecules from staying still for the length of time required to make meaningful measurements, and immobilization can alter an enzyme’s biochemica...

Song recognition learning and stimulus-specific weakening of neural responses in the avian auditory forebrain.

Learning typically increases the strength of responses and the number of neurons that respond to training stimuli. Few studies have explored representational plasticity using natural stimuli, however, leaving unknown the changes that accompany learning under more realistic conditions. Here, we examine experience-dependent plasticity in European starlings, a songbird with rich acoustic communica...
