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...
متن کاملLocal inhibition modulates learning-dependent song encoding in the songbird auditory cortex.
Changes in inhibition during development are well documented, but the role of inhibition in adult learning-related plasticity is not understood. In songbirds, vocal recognition learning alters the neural representation of songs across the auditory forebrain, including the caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), a region analogous to mammalian secondary auditory cortices. Here, we block local inhibition ...
متن کاملDistributed recognition of natural songs by European starlings.
Individual vocal recognition behaviors in songbirds provide an excellent framework for the investigation of comparative psychological and neurobiological mechanisms that support the perception and cognition of complex acoustic communication signals. To this end, the complex songs of European starlings have been studied extensively. Yet, several basic parameters of starling individual vocal reco...
متن کاملThe comparative effects of song, picture and the keyword method on L2 vocabulary recognition and production
The present study investigated the effects of three methods of vocabulary presentation, i.e., picture, song, and the keyword method on Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary recognition and production. The participants were 102 Iranian lower-intermediate EFL learners in Zaban Sara English language institute in Kermanshah. To make sure that they had no previous knowl...
متن کاملRepetition-related neural plasticity: common memory mechanisms in birds and humans
Introduction: Repetition priming refers to a behavioral change (in speed, accuracy,...) associated with the processing of a stimulus due to prior exposure to that same stimulus. It is a form of implicit memory representing one of the most basic expressions of human memory and it is supposed to be shared by other complex nervous systems (1). At the neural level, repeated processing of a stimulus...
