A framework for integrating the songbird brain.
(J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol, 2002-12)
Biological systems by default involve complex components with complex relationships.
To decipher how biological systems work, we assume that one needs to integrate information
over multiple levels of complexity. The songbird ...
Molecular mapping of brain areas involved in parrot vocal communication.
(J Comp Neurol, 2000-03-27)
Auditory and vocal regulation of gene expression occurs in separate discrete regions
of the songbird brain. Here we demonstrate that regulated gene expression also occurs
during vocal communication in a parrot, belonging ...
Behaviourally driven gene expression reveals song nuclei in hummingbird brain.
(Nature, 2000-08-10)
Hummingbirds have developed a wealth of intriguing features, such as backwards flight,
ultraviolet vision, extremely high metabolic rates, nocturnal hibernation, high brain-to-body
size ratio and a remarkable species-specific ...
Faces evoke spatially differentiated patterns of BOLD activation and deactivation.
(Neuroreport, 2003-05-23)
Using fMRI techniques sensitive to blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast, we
measured brain activity in participants (n=8) as they viewed images of faces presented
periodically within a continuously changing montage ...
The short and long of it: neural correlates of temporal-order memory for autobiographical events.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2008-07)
Previous functional neuroimaging studies of temporal-order memory have investigated
memory for laboratory stimuli that are causally unrelated and poor in sensory detail.
In contrast, the present functional magnetic resonance ...
Assessing visual requirements for social context-dependent activation of the songbird song system.
(Proc Biol Sci, 2009-01-22)
Social context has been shown to have a profound influence on brain activation in
a wide range of vertebrate species. Best studied in songbirds, when males sing undirected
song, the level of neural activity and expression ...
Lateralized activation of Cluster N in the brains of migratory songbirds.
(Eur J Neurosci, 2007-02)
Cluster N is a cluster of forebrain regions found in night-migratory songbirds that
shows high activation of activity-dependent gene expression during night-time vision.
We have suggested that Cluster N may function as a ...
Differentiating sensitivity of post-stimulus undershoot under diffusion weighting: implication of vascular and neuronal hierarchy.
(PLoS One, 2008-08-13)
The widely used blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal during brain activation,
as measured in typical fMRI methods, is composed of several distinct phases, the last
of which, and perhaps the least understood, is ...
