An avian basal ganglia - forebrain circuit contributes differentially to syllable 1 versus sequence variability of adult
27 28 Behavioral variability is important for motor skill learning but continues to be 29 present and actively regulated even in well-learned adult behaviors. In adult songbirds, 30 two types of song variability can persist and are modulated by social context: variability 31 in syllable structure and variability in syllable sequencing. The degree to which the 32 control of both types of adult v...
متن کاملAn avian basal ganglia-forebrain circuit contributes differentially to syllable versus sequence variability of adult Bengalese finch song.
Behavioral variability is important for motor skill learning but continues to be present and actively regulated even in well-learned behaviors. In adult songbirds, two types of song variability can persist and are modulated by social context: variability in syllable structure and variability in syllable sequencing. The degree to which the control of both types of adult variability is shared or ...
متن کاملSocial modulation of sequence and syllable variability in adult birdsong.
Birdsong is a learned motor skill that is performed with a high degree of stereotypy in adult birds. Nevertheless, even in species where song "crystallizes" in a form that remains stable over time, there is residual variability. Such variability in well-learned skills is often construed as uncontrolled and irrelevant biological "noise." However, studies in the zebra finch indicate that variabil...
متن کاملLesions of an avian basal ganglia circuit prevent context-dependent changes to song variability Abbreviated title: LMAN lesions prevent changes to song variability
Abbreviated title: LMAN lesions prevent changes to song variability Abstract Trial-by-trial variability is important in feedback-based motor learning. Variation in motor output enables evaluation mechanisms to differentially reinforce patterns of motor activity that produce desired behaviors. Here, we investigate neural substrates of variability in the performance of adult birdsong, a complex, ...
متن کاملActivity in a cortical-basal ganglia circuit for song is required for social context-dependent vocal variability.
Variability in adult motor output is important for enabling animals to respond to changing external conditions. Songbirds are useful for studying variability because they alter the amount of variation in their song depending on social context. When an adult zebra finch male sings to a female ("directed"), his song is highly stereotyped, but when he sings alone ("undirected"), his song varies ac...
