An improved isochronous pulse after lentiviral knock-down of STEP in Area X of juvenile zebra finches
2024-12-11
Abstract excerpt
The zebra finch is one of the most commonly used animal models for studying the genetic mechanisms underlying vocal learning. To investigate the genetic basis of vocal learning, various genes have been knocked down in Area X—a brain region involved in birdsong acquisition—during the critical learning period. All genes that affect speech when mutated in humans similarly impair song learning in zebra finches. To dat...
