From silence to song: Testosterone triggers extensive transcriptional changes in the female canary HVC

Meng‐Ching Ko, Carolina Frankl‐Vilches, Antje Bakker, Nina Sohnius‐Wilhelmi, Pepe Alcamí, Manfred L. Gahr

This study shows testosterone induces extensive transcriptional changes in the female canary's HVC, with 9,913 genes differentially expressed over two weeks, linked to neuronal and cellular processes.

The gene expression profile of the song control nucleus HVC shows sex specificity, hormone responsiveness, and species specificity among songbirds

Meng‐Ching Ko, Carolina Frankl‐Vilches, Antje Bakker, Manfred L. Gahr

The paper examines sex-specific gene expression in the HVC of songbirds, finding that sex and hormone levels significantly influence transcriptomes, with differences observed between natural and testosterone-induced singing.
