Abstract:In songbirds, singing is a learned behaviour that displays a remarkable level of acoustic and temporal complexity. It is controlled by a well‐defined neural circuit, known as the song system, which receives highly processed auditory information from specialised higher‐order auditory areas. Over the past decade, sophisticated new song analysis tools coupled with the ability to actively record from and manipulate the activity of specific neural circuits in adult and juvenile singing birds have revealed many fund… Show more
