A Suboscine Bird (Eastern Phoebe, Sayornis phoebe) Develops Normal Song Without Auditory Feedback
-
of special interest, This study examines the role of auditory feedback in song development in a suboscine bird. These birds are evolutionarily closely related to the oscine songbirds described in this review, but are not thought to imitate the songs of others. Deafening of juvenile phoebes did not in fact prevent normal song development. Furthermore, the brains of these birds do not contain obvious neural structures like the song system of oscine songbirds. This is consistent with the idea that the song system evolved to accomodate auditory control of vocal output.

A Comparative Study of the Behavioral Deficits Following Lesions of the Various Parts of the Zebra Finch Song System: Implications for Vocal Learning
-
of outstanding interest, In this study, the authors directly compare the effects on song of early and late juvenile Area X lesions, adult Area X lesions, early LMAN lesions, and early deafening. Their results show clearly that early juvenile Area X lesions and deafening result in poorly structured and unstable song, while LMAN lesions result in abnormal but stable song. This result is consistent with a role of LMAN in vocal plasticity, in addition to its role in transmission of information from the rest of the anterior forebrain circuit. Particularly notable about this paper is the detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of various parameters of song. This analysis not only strengthens the results, but if adopted by others should allow useful comparisons between the results of different laboratories.

Song-Selective Auditory Circuits in the Vocal Control System of the Zebra Finch
-
of special interest, This paper shows that all three nuclei of the anterior forebrain pathway of adult zebra finches contain auditory neurons that respond highly selectively to the bird's own song. Furthermore, the premotor nucleus RA also contains such neurons. Selective inactivation of one or both inputs to the RA shows that there is a song-selective pathway directly from HVc to RA in addition to the circuit via LMAN.

Synaptic Basis for Developmental Plasticity in a Birdsong Nucleus
-
of outstanding interest, An in vitro brain slice preparation of the zebra finch brain was developed and used to examine the synaptic properties of HVc and LMAN terminals in RA during development. The results show that LMAN axons innervate RA neurons much earlier in development than do HVc terminals. Furthermore, LMAN neurons primarily activate NMDA receptors on RA neurons, while HVc axons predominantly activate non-NMDA receptors on the same neurons. Studies such as this promise to elucidate the synaptic mechanisms that mediate the learning of complex behaviors.

Temporal and Harmonic Combination-Sensitive Neurons in the Zebra Finch's HVc
-
of special interest, Song-selective neurons were first described and extensively analyzed in the HVc of white-crowned sparrows [20], whose song does not contain the rich harmonics of zebra finch song. This new single-unit study provides evidence for song-selective neurons in adult zebra finch HVc, including cells that require particular combinations of harmonics, as well as cells requiring temporal combinations of sound.

-
of special interest, This study shows that, although deafening of adult zebra finches does not have as dramatic an effect on song as in birds learning to sing, the absence of auditory feedback in young adult finches results in a slow gradual deterioration of song over the course of months.

Neuron Loss and Addition in Developing Zebra Finch Song Nuclei are Independent of Auditory Experience During Song Learning
-
of special interest, This study of the zebra finch song system shows that developmental changes in properties such as nuclear volume, and neuron density and number still occur if auditory learning is prevented by deafening. Thus, these changes do not reflect auditory experience or learning.

The Development of Afferent Projections to the Robust Archistriatal Nucleus in Male Zebra Finches: a Quantitative Electron Microscopic Study
-
of special interest, Lesion-induced degeneration was used to identify synapses in RA originating from either HVc or LMAN. At day 25 of zebra finch development, 37% of RA synapses are of LMAN origin, whereas only about 5% stem from HVc, and most of the other 58 % are presumably intrinsic. After this age, LMAM retracts about 70% of its synaptic contacts in RA, although the size of each LMAN terminal increases. In adulthood, 10% of RA synapses are from HVc, whereas only about 4% are from LMAN, although this still corresponds to 4 million synapses.

Seasonal Changes in Avian Song Nuclei Without Seasonal Changes in Song Repertoire
-
of special interest, Photoperiod-related increases in the volume of HVc, RA, and Area X are seen in an age-limited learner, and are as large as those in open-ended learners. These seasonal changes can thus occur without disrupting the existing song repertoire and without new song development.

3-H]MK-801 Binding Within Zebra Finch Song Nuclei
-
of special interest, NMDA receptor binding in zebra finch song nuclei is measured using the antagonist MK-801. Binding in the forebrain song nuclei is frequently lower than in the surrounding telencephalon, and binding in juveniles is not different from adult levels in most song nuclei. In LMAN, however, binding at 30 days of age is significantly higher than binding in adults.

Chronic Testosterone Treatment Impairs Vocal Learning in Male Zebra Finches During a Restricted Period of Development
-
of special interest, Exposure of young male zebra finches to chronically high levels of testosterone after day 40 produces no behavioral abnormalities, but exposure starting before day 40 markedly disrupts song learning. The specific effects of the hormone vary according to when and how long it is administered. Treatment from before day 40 until adulthood results in stable but short song phrases with a reduced number of syllables. The results are suggestive of premature crystallization, although it is because songs were not recorded until birds were 90 days of age, and because sensory learning may also have been affected. These experiments also demonstrate that a period of low androgen levels is essential for normal vocal development.
