The paper develops a geniculocortical circuit model to show that SF decorrelation in V1 arises from temporal organization of feedforward inputs and intracortical inhibition.

The paper shows that zebra finch auditory cortex can reconstruct occluded syllables in conspecific song using pre-attentive neural dynamics.

This study shows that a complex acoustical environment is necessary for the development and maintenance of auditory circuits in zebra finches, as evidenced by neural deficits in birds raised in simpler environments.

This study shows that exposure to a complex acoustical environment during development improves auditory perception and coding efficiency in zebra finches.

The paper shows that zebra finch auditory cortex neurons can rapidly change firing dynamics during a critical period for song learning, dependent on activity and involving Kv1.1 channel mobilization.

The paper investigates how intrinsic dynamics, specifically a low-threshold potassium current, nonlinearly affect temporal encoding in a biophysical model of zebra finch auditory cortex.

The paper shows that intrinsic plasticity in zebra finch auditory cortex changes during song memorization, with sex and environmental factors influencing these changes.

The paper shows that a low-threshold potassium current improves sparseness and reliability in a model of avian auditory cortex neurons responding to birdsong.
