Organization of the avian basal forebrain: Chemical anatomy in the parrot (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Abstract: Hodological, electrophysiological, and ablation studies indicate a role for the basal forebrain in telencephalic vocal control; however, to date the organization of the basal forebrain has not been extensively studied in any nonmammal or nonhuman vocal learning species. To this end the chemical anatomy of the avian basal forebrain was investigated in a vocal learning parrot, the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus). Immunological and histological stains, including choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesteras… Show more

“…The olfactory tubercle is a telencephalic territory at the lower edge of the subpallium that was recognized in pigeons by Karten and Hodos (1973) and by most subsequent published papers or atlases dealing with the telencephalon in birds (Stokes et al, 1974;Youngren and Phillips, 1983;Kuenzel and Masson, 1988;Matochik et al, 1991). It is now established that, as in mammals, this cell group is a ventral striatal region that receives olfactory bulb input and resembles the olfactory tubercle of mammals in its neurochemistry and connectivity (Heimer et al, 1985(Heimer et al, , 1997Reiner and Karten, 1985; Roberts et al, 2002). The Forum thus endorsed the previously recognized homology of this cell group to the similarly named mammalian cell group and recommended no name change (Table 2, Figs.…”

“…By contrast, much of the remainder of what has been called the LPO is reciprocally connected with the substantia nigra pars compacta, receives pallial input from somatosensory and somatomotor areas of the pallium, and shows little co-localization of SP and enkephalin in spiny striatal projection neurons (Brauth et al, 1978;Reiner et al, , 1984aReiner, 1990, 1991b;Reiner and Anderson, 1990;Veenman et al, 1995b;Mezey and Csillag, 2002;Roberts et al, 2002). Thus, the region at the rostral ventromedial tip of medial striatum in birds is comparable to the mammalian nucleus accumbens.…”
