Neural mechanisms underlying the emergence of rhythmic and stereotyped vocalizations in juvenile songbirds
… that a premotor area in the songbird brain, HVC, is important for stereotyped adult song, the role of HVC in juvenile song is less known. This thesis characterizes how activity in HVC develops during song learning in juvenile birds. Early in song learning, temporal structure emerged in HVC. …

Generation and tuning of learned sensorimotor behavior by multiple neural circuit architectures
… of single-unit recordings in zebra finch area HVC during singing. While HVC is known to be essential for proper expression of adult vocalization, its circuit architecture is contentious. Evidence is presented against the recently postulated gesture-trajectory extrema hypothesis for the …

Net Addition and Long-Term Survival of Adult-Born Neurons in the Zebra Finch HVC: Why Replace When You Can Keep Them All?
… that learns new song elements each year. Many neurons in the canary song control nucleus, HVC, are discarded every year, with cell loss peaking at the end of the breeding season. New neurons numerically replace those that have died and this replacement process occurs at a time when vocal output …
