The paper investigates how pair bonding in songbirds alters neural responses to familiar songs in specific auditory and integrative circuits, with a potential role for dopamine.

This study shows that rearing conditions in zebra finches affect their behavioral response to audiovisual stimuli, indicating that early sensory experience influences multisensory integration during mate recognition.

This study uses an AI model to analyze zebra finch vocal interactions and identifies key features of their communication rules.

This study shows humans share acoustic preferences with various animals, with stronger agreement for ancestral and lower frequency sounds, and links preferences to music experience.

This study examines motor learning in zebra finches by analyzing flight kinematics over training and distances, finding improvements in speed, bounding time, and reduced variability, with optimization for energy and duration.

The paper examines how early auditory and adult mating experiences influence neural responses to song in female zebra finches, revealing distinct patterns of neural activity based on rearing conditions.

This study shows that dopamine in the auditory cortex of zebra finches influences song preferences by altering incentive salience.
