FoxP2 expression in avian vocal learners and non-learners.
(J Neurosci, 2004-03-31)
Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and
whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene
linked to human speech and has been the target of positive ...
Identifying corollary discharges for movement in the primate brain.
(Prog Brain Res, 2004)
The brain keeps track of the movements it makes so as to process sensory input accurately
and coordinate complex movements gracefully. In this chapter we review the brain's
strategies for keeping track of fast, saccadic ...
Differential expression of glutamate receptors in avian neural pathways for learned vocalization.
(J Comp Neurol, 2004-08-09)
Learned vocalization, the substrate for human language, is a rare trait. It is found
in three distantly related groups of birds-parrots, hummingbirds, and songbirds. These
three groups contain cerebral vocal nuclei for learned ...
Songbirds and the revised avian brain nomenclature.
(Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2004-06)
It has become increasingly clear that the standard nomenclature for many telencephalic
and related brainstem structures of the avian brain is based on flawed once-held assumptions
of homology to mammalian brain structures, ...
Learned birdsong and the neurobiology of human language.
(Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2004-06)
Vocal learning, the substrate for human language, is a rare trait found to date in
only three distantly related groups of mammals (humans, bats, and cetaceans) and three
distantly related groups of birds (parrots, hummingbirds, ...
