1 Goller, FranzCoordination and synergism between visual and vocal display in the brown-headed cowbirdsSexually selected acoustic signaling is accompanied by visual displays in many birds. The motor integration of visual and vocal displays has not been extensively studied. Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) "puff up" prior to song, move their wings during the song and conclude with a bow. The ...Acoustic signaling; Wing display; Synergistic interaction2003
2 Goller, FranzBilateral syringeal contributions to song in the zebra finchAlthough central control of song production has been investigated extensively in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), much less is known about peripheral vocal motor dynamics during song.Electromyographic activity; Sound souces; Unilateral2004
3 Goller, FranzVocal gestures of shared syllable types in cardinalsIn songbirds, songs are learned by memorization and copying of tutor song and such copies can be remarkably accurate. However, it is not known whether acoustic similarity is generated by equally similar vocal gestures. We studied syringeal and respiratory motor patterns of syllable types shared by u...Cardinalis cardinalis; Vocal gestures; Birdsong syllables; Song syllables1997
4 Goller, FranzMotor control of crystallized song is modified by sensory feedbackSong production requires precisely coordinated activity in the respiratory and syringcal (vocal organ) muscles. Crystallized adult song is characterized by acoustic and motor stereotypy which does not require auditory feedback, suggesting it is represented by fixed central motor programs. To determ...Air injection; Auditory feedback; Pressure1997
5 Goller, FranzSong development in birds tutored with phrase pairsA study of the developmental trajectory of bird song can offer insight into the process of vocal learning. In a previous experiment we tutored white-crowned sparrows with isolated phrase pairs taken from adult conspecific songs consisting of 5 phrases.Crystallization; Phrase coupling; Syntax diversity2004
6 Goller, FranzRespiratory motor correlates of song plasticity in young adult zebra finchesYoung adult zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata, 90150 phd) sing a stereotyped song, but can show rapid changes in song structure if sensory feedback is disrupted. The vocal motor correlates accompanying induced song plasticity have not yet been examined. To investigate motor changes underlying song ...Pattern; Muting; Sound2002
7 Goller, FranzWhite-crowned sparrows tutored with syllable pairs can produce full songsDuring their 'sensitive period', young songbirds develop an 'acquired template', representing a memory of the song(s) that it hears. Later, during the sensorimotor phase, birds use this template to evaluate, via auditory feedback, their vocalizations.Acquired template; Sensorimotor period; Temporal isolation2003
8 Goller, FranzContributions of expiratory muscles to song production in zebra finchesBirdsong production requires coordinated activity of syringeal and respiratory muscles, Phonation occurs during the expiratory phase of the respiratory cycle, and expiratory muscles generate the pressure head for sound production.Phonation; Syringeal muscles; Air sac pressure1999
9 Goller, FranzMuscular control and biomechanics of the songbird syrinxIn songbirds the vocal organ, the syrinx, is controlled by six bilateral muscles, the functional roles of which have been studied indirectly, but not directly. We filmed the syrinx with an endoscope while electrically stimulating individual intrinsic muscles on one side.Syringeal; Medial labium; Vocal organ1997
10 Goller, FranzTracheal length changes and upper vocal tract resonances during zebra finch songUpper vocal tract resonances in singing birds could be modified by beak opening, laryngeal adjustments and tracheal length changes.Sonomicrometry; Syringeal; Tracheal shortening2000
11 Goller, FranzVibratory behavior of the sound generating structures of the bird syrinxRecent endoscopic studies of the bird syrinx during phonation suggest that sound is generated by vibrating membrane folds or labia (Goller and Larsen, J. exp. Biol., 200, 2165-2176, 1997; Goller and Larsen, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 4,14787-14791, 1997) and not by a whistle mechanism (Nottebohm, J. ...Vocalization; Vibration detector; Whistle mechanism1998
12 Goller, FranzInspiratory muscle activity during singing in zebra finches and cowbirdsSinging is produced by an intricate coordination of vocal (syringeal) and respiratory muscles. Expiratory muscle activity is associated with the production of notes and syllables, which are separated by silent intervals, negative air sac pressure, and inspiratory air flow. In order to study the mus...Minibreath; Expiration; Inspiration1997
13 Goller, FranzOntogeny of song lateralization in juvenile northern cardinalsIn adult northern cardinals (Cardinatte cardinalis), the left and right sides of the syrinx cover different vocal registers such (hat fundamental frequencies below about 3.5 or 4 kHz are produced only by the left syrinx and higher frequencies are produced primarily by the light syrinx.Motor control; FM sweep; Subsong1998
14 Couldwell, William T.Unruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysm presenting with gustatory seizures and temporal lobe edemaUnruptured cerebral aneurysms presenting with seizures are unusual. We describe a case of a growing middle cerebral artery aneurysm presenting with gustatory seizures with magnetic resonance imaging showing peri-aneurysmal edema. This case is the first to show temporal lobe edema associated with inc...Seizure; Brain edema; PCOM2009-04

20 Yamaguchi, AyakoViral vectors to deliver trasngenes into neurons of adult African clawed frogs, Xenopus laevisThe African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, produce sexually distinct vocalizations to coordinate reproduction. Xenopus vocal behavior is an ideal model to study the neural basis of behavior for a variety of reasons. Unlike most other behaviors exhibited by vertebrate species, the neural pathways for v...VSV; viral vector; amphibians2019
21 Horch, Kenneth W.Differential activation of nerve fibers with magnetic stimulation in humansEarlier observations in our lab had indicated that large, time-varying magnetic fields could elicit action potentials that travel in only one direction in at least some of the myelinated axons in peripheral nerves. The objective of this study was to collect quantitative evidence for magnetically in...Magnetic stimulation; Peripheral nerve; Electromyographic potential; Somatosensory potential2006

24 Kesner, Raymond P.The role of GABA-ergic interneurons in CA1 and dentate gyrus for sequence learningThe hippocampus (HPP) is widely accepted as a structure that supports spatial memory. Current interest is focused on temporal processing for sequences of events. It has been demonstrated that HPP lesions disrupt acquisition of a spatial temporal sequence in an 8-arm maze (DeCoteau & Kesner, 2000)....Hippocampus, learning, memory, interneuron, CA1, dentate gyrus, sequence2010
