Long-Distance Retinoid Signaling in the Zebra Finch Brain
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the main active metabolite of vitamin A, is a powerful signaling molecule that regulates large-scale morphogenetic processes during vertebrate embryonic development, but is also involved post-natally in regulating neural plasticity and cognition. In songbirds, it plays an important role in the maturation of learned song. The distribution of the ATRA-synthesizing ...
متن کاملTo a Zebra Finch: How the Brain Cultivates Birdsong
0733 components not targeted by known kinase inhibitors. From the library of screened compounds, Shokat and colleagues identifi ed a molecule (hydroxy-PP) that, though structurally related to a known kinase inhibitor, induced morphological changes distinct from any known kinase inhibitor. What does hydroxy-PP target? An enzyme, called carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1), that acts on xenobiotics like a...
متن کاملMelatonin receptor expression in the zebra finch brain and peripheral tissues.
The circadian endocrine hormone melatonin plays a significant role in many physiological processes, such as modulating the sleep/wake cycle and oxidative stress. Melatonin is synthesized and secreted during the night by the pineal gland and released into the circulatory system. It binds to numerous membrane, cytosolic, and nuclear receptors in the brain and peripheral organs. Three G-protein-li...
متن کاملEvolution of Song Culture in the Zebra Finch
Similar to humans, juvenile songbirds learn their vocal repertoire by imitating adult individuals. When raised in social and acoustic isolation, birds can still sing, but they produce a highly abnormal song. What happens when such an abnormal song is culturally transmitted over generations? To examine this question we placed an isolate (non-tutored) adult bird in a large sound box together with...
متن کاملEnvironmental and genetic control of brain and song structure in the zebra finch.
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned trait with cultural inheritance, with selection acting on trait expression. To understand how song responds to selection, it is vital to determine the extent to which variation in song learning and neuroanatomy is attributable to genetic variation, environmental conditions, or their interactions. Using a partial cross fostering design with an experimen...
