As in humans, song production in birds involves the intricate coordination of at least three
major groups of muscles: namely, those of the syrinx, the respiratory apparatus, and the …

Vocalization is an ancient vertebrate trait essential to many forms of communication, ranging
from courtship calls to free verse. Vocalizations may be entirely innate and evoked by sexual …

The standard nomenclature that has been used for many telencephalic and related
brainstem structures in birds is based on flawed assumptions of homology to mammals. In …

This book deals with a problem central to the relations of brain and behaviour: the
organization of goal-directed movements. The importance of movement, not only as a probe …

The descending, efferent projections of nucleus robustus archistriatalis were investigated in
male zebra finches and greenfinches with injections of either biotinylated dextran amine or …

Quail rhombomeres two to six (r2‐r6) were individually grafted homotopically into the
hindbrain of chick embryos at 2 days of incubation. Nine to 10 days after the operation the …

It has become increasingly clear that the standard nomenclature for many telencephalic and
related brainstem structures of the avian brain is based on flawed once‐held assumptions of …

We have investigated the distribution of cholinergic perikarya and fibers in the brain of the
pigeon (Columba livia). With this aim, pigeon brain sections were processed …

The magnetic field sensors enabling birds to extract orientational information from the
Earth's magnetic field have remained enigmatic. Our previously published results from …

A combination of autoradiography and horseradish peroxidase histochemistry was used to
identify telencephalic structures linking the sensory and motor components of the trigeminal …
