Genetic variation interacts with experience to determine interindividual differences in learned song.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 9 Jan 2018

Mets David G, Brainard Michael S

Abstract excerpt

Learning reflects the influence of experience on genetically determined circuitry, but little is known about how experience and genetics interact to determine complex learned phenotypes. Here, we used vocal learning in songbirds to study how experience and genetics contribute to interindividual differences in learned song. Previous work has established that such differences in song within a species depend on...
