JiSuJi is a muscle model that accurately predicts force from spike trains, outperforming existing simulators in speed and accuracy for fast-contracting muscles.

This study finds that social isolation in a familiar environment does not suppress singing in zebra finches, unlike isolation in an unfamiliar environment.

The paper reannotates the zebra finch genome using transcriptome data, revealing new transcriptional units and refining gene models.

The paper shows that daily vocal exercise is necessary for songbirds to maintain peak vocal muscle performance and that this affects song quality and mate preference.

The paper shows that zebra finches have high motor control resolution in vocal muscles, enabling precise control of birdsong through small motor unit sizes and low muscle stress.

This study shows that acoustic changes in zebra finch vocal development are due to motor control changes, not syringeal structure maturation.

The paper shows that syringeal muscle speed increases during song learning in male zebra finches, altering how neural commands translate into acoustic features.
