The paper maps synaptic outputs of V1 neurons in zebrafish to show they inhibit motor targets locally and sensory targets distally, coordinating locomotion.

This study shows that FoxP1 selectively impairs social learning of vocalizations but not imitation in zebra finches, highlighting a specific vulnerability in cultural transmission.

The paper identifies neuronal populations in songbirds that transition from preparatory activity to precise sequences during singing, revealing mechanisms for behavioral state transitions.
