Nau, Adam | The role of heparan sulfate in maintaining stereotyped birdsong | Song learning in Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata) occurs during a critical period between 30-90 post hatch days, and involves acquisition of an acoustic model and a sensorimotor period of increasingly improving imitation of this model. Young birds sing highly variable songs early during this pe... | Birdsongs - Research; Zebra finch - Research; Songbirds - Behavior; Heparan sulfate; Taeniopygia guttata; Neural circuitry | 2016-04 |

Chen, Jason J. | Dissecting the genetic and learned components of oscine birdsong | The interplay of genetically encoded and learned components in the development of the learned vocal signals of birdsong and human speech in not fully understood (Forstmeier et al, 2009). The fact that song is a learned vocal behavior does not imply the lack of a genetic basis in acquiring vocalizati... | Birdsongs -- Research; Songbirds -- Genetics -- Research; Zebra finch -- Research; Nature and nurture -- Research; birdsong; Taeniopygia guttata | 2015-12 |
