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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Night-vision brain area in migratory songbirds.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2005-06-07)
Twice each year, millions of night-migratory songbirds migrate thousands of kilometers.
To find their way, they must process and integrate spatiotemporal information from
a variety of cues including the Earth's magnetic ...
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 ...
Site-specific retinoic acid production in the brain of adult songbirds.
(Neuron, 2000-08)
The song system of songbirds, a set of brain nuclei necessary for song learning and
production, has distinctive morphological and functional properties. Utilizing differential
display, we searched for molecular components ...
Evaluating functional network inference using simulations of complex biological systems.
(Bioinformatics, 2002)
MOTIVATION: Although many network inference algorithms have been presented in the
bioinformatics literature, no suitable approach has been formulated for evaluating
their effectiveness at recovering models of complex biological ...
