To sleep, perchance to enrich learning?
CM Hill, AM Hogan, A Karmiloff-Smith - Archives of disease in …, 2007 - adc.bmj.com
There is evidence that sleep enhances memory and learning. Childhood is a critical period
for neurodevelopment, and minor but persistent disruption of sleep may have long-term …

Song‐induced gene expression: a window on song auditory processing and perception
We review here evidence that a large portion of the caudomedial telencephalon of
songbirds, distinct from the song control circuit, is involved in the perceptual processing of …

How sleep affects the developmental learning of bird song
Sleep affects learning and development in humans and other animals, but the role of sleep
in developmental learning has never been examined. Here we show the effects of night …

Modulation of perineuronal nets and parvalbumin with developmental song learning
TS Balmer, VM Carels, JL Frisch… - Journal of …, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
Neural circuits and behavior are shaped during developmental phases of maximal plasticity

[HTML][HTML] Auditory experience-dependent cortical circuit shaping for memory formation in bird song learning
S Yanagihara, Y Yazaki-Sugiyama - Nature communications, 2016 - nature.com
As in human speech acquisition, songbird vocal learning depends on early auditory
experience. During development, juvenile songbirds listen to and form auditory memories of …

The HVC microcircuit: the synaptic basis for interactions between song motor and vocal plasticity pathways
R Mooney, JF Prather - Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Synaptic interactions between telencephalic neurons innervating descending motor or basal
ganglia pathways are essential in the learning, planning, and execution of complex …

Inhibition protects acquired song segments during vocal learning in zebra finches
Vocal imitation involves incorporating instructive auditory information into relevant motor
circuits through processes that are poorly understood. In zebra finches, we found that …

A synaptic basis for auditory–vocal integration in the songbird
EE Bauer, MJ Coleman, TF Roberts, A Roy… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Songbirds learn to sing by memorizing a tutor song that they then vocally mimic using
auditory feedback. This developmental sequence suggests that brain areas that encode …

Real-time contributions of auditory feedback to avian vocal motor control
JT Sakata, MS Brainard - Journal of Neuroscience, 2006 - Soc Neuroscience
Songbirds and humans both rely critically on hearing for learning and maintaining accurate
vocalizations. Evidence strongly indicates that auditory feedback contributes in real time to …

The role of auditory feedback in birdsong
M Konishi - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Young songbirds memorize a tutor song and use the memory trace as a template to shape
their own song by auditory feedback. Major issues in birdsong research include the neural …
