Probing the Dopaminergic Innervation of a Novel Subtype of HVC Adult-Born Neurons in Male Zebra Finches

Abstract: Zebra finches are social animals that communicate via different types of vocalizations, and their song system is an ideal model for studying sensorimotor learning. Throughout adulthood, new neurons are added continuously into the telencephalic brain structure HVC (proper name), which is heavily involved in motor control of singing. The role of these adult-born new … Read more
