Holistic Motor Control of Zebra Finch Song Syllable Sequences

Massimo Trusel, Junfeng Zuo, Danyal H Alam, Ethan S Marks, Therese MI Koch, Jie Cao, Harshida Pancholi, Ziran Zhao, Brenton G. Cooper, Wenhao Zhang, Todd F. Roberts

This study shows that the zebra finch's HVC region generates learned song syllable sequences independently of major input pathways, relying on local circuits for sustained production.

Transitioning between preparatory and precisely sequenced neuronal activity in production of a skilled behavior

Vamsi Daliparthi, Ryosuke O. Tachibana, Brenton G. Cooper, Richard H. R. Hahnloser, Satoshi Kojima, Samuel J. Sober, Todd F. Roberts

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