Driving Temporally Precise Learning in Individual Premotor Neurons using Closed-Loop Neurofeedback
… on the cortical output of the AFP known as LMAN (lateral magnocellular nucleus of the anterior nidopallium). However, little is known about the neural code in LMAN that underlies this bias signal, or how this neural code is learned and generated. We address these questions by building a …

Neural mechanisms of early motor control in the vocal behavior of juvenile songbirds
… magnocellular nucleus of the nidopallium (LMAN) - the output region of basal ganglia-forebrain circuitry previously considered a modulatory area. Recordings in LMAN during subsong revealed premotor activity related to the vocal output on a fast timescale. These results show, for the first …

Songbird Brain Organization and its Molecular Convergence with Humans for Vocal Imitation Learning
… is convergent as well. In songbirds, HVC and LMAN are two premotor regions each critical for proper production and imitation of sounds respectively. In humans, prominent premotor regions activated during speech include the LMC, Broca's area, and the Supplementary Motor Area (SMA). Using LCM …

Cloning and Characterization of the Vasopressin-Oxytocin Neuropeptide Signaling System in the Vocal Control System of the Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
<p>Vasopressin (VP) and Oxytocin (OT) are neuropeptides produced in the hypothalamus and expressed in the cerebrum and pituitary gland of the brain. Studies of VP and OT have long demonstrated their influence on social behaviors in mammals. Comparative analyses of these neuropeptides and in-depth …
