Activity of FoxP2-positive neurons is associated with tadpole begging behavior

Abstract excerpt

Motor function is a critical aspect of social behavior in a wide range of taxa. The transcription factor FoxP2 is well studied in the context of vocal communication in humans, mice, and songbirds, but its role in regulating social behavior in other vertebrate taxa is unclear. We examined the distribution and activity of FoxP2-positive neurons in tadpoles of the mimic poison frog ( Ranitomeya imitator ). In this s...
