Male zebra finches are most apt to mimic songs heard between posthatch days (PHD) 35 and 65, and this vocal learning depends, in part, on the activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) within a discrete forebrain circuit that includes the lateral magnocellular nucleus of the anterior neostriatum (lMAN) and area X. Using in situ hybridization, we show that transcripts for both the cons...

Heterogeneity is often manifested in different forms even in environments that seem to be similar. In particular, clusters, grids, and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) clouds may appear straightforward to configure to be interchangeable. However, our experiences with mainstream parallel codes for solving complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD) problems demonstrate that secondary attributes...

Although there is growing evidence that estradiol modulates female perception of male sexual signals, relatively little research has focused on female auditory processing. We used in vivo 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to examine the neuronal effects of estradiol and conspecific song in female house sparrows (Passer domesticus). We assessed brain glu...
