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.

AVN is a deep learning pipeline for analyzing zebra finch songs, providing interpretable features and comparing song phenotypes across experiments and developmental stages.

The paper maps synaptic connectivity in songbird sensorimotor circuits involved in vocal imitation, revealing modular networks and connectivity rules.
