Neuroscience of birdsong
The title Neuroscience of Birdsong hardly does justice to the contents of this treasure of a book. While birdsong has been studied extensively in the context of behavioural ecology and evolution, the physiological, genetic and molecular aspects have been studied less widely. Birdwatching (or ‘twitching’) has played an important role in the youth of many eminent ecologists or evolutionary biolog...
متن کاملMotor control of birdsong.
One of the challenges when considering the motor control of birdsong is to understand how such a wide variety of temporally and spectrally diverse vocalizations are learned and produced. A better understanding of central neural processing, together with direct endoscopic observations and physiological studies of peripheral motor function during singing, has resulted in the formation of new theo...
متن کاملNeural Control of Birdsong
Birdsong is a learned behaviour that displays a remarkable level of acoustic and temporal complexity. It is controlled by a well-defined neural circuit, known as the song system, whichreceiveshighlyprocessedauditory informationfrom specialized higher-order auditory areas. Over the past decade, sophisticatednew songanalysis tools coupledwith the ability to record from identified neurons in adult...
متن کاملBirdsong Learning
Birdsong has been compared to human speech because both are examples of animal vocalizations that are at least partially learned. Indeed, some of the neural pathways underlying these vocal behaviors may be similar in songbirds and humans. More generally, birdsong can be compared to any motor behavior that involves sequential control and learning and is an ideal playground for experimental and t...
