Anatomical and ontogenetic factors producing variation in HVc neuron number in zebra finches.

Brain research - 22 Jun 2001

Ward B C, Nordeen E J, Nordeen K W

Abstract excerpt

The volume of nucleus HVc of the avian song system varies greatly both among and within songbird species, and is positively correlated to song complexity in many species. Moreover, the number of neurons in HVc predicts the ability of individual zebra finches to imitate song accurately. To better understand this brain/behavior relationship, we used the retrograde tracer Fast Blue to assess how specific HVc...
