Convergent differential regulation of SLIT-ROBO axon guidance genes in the brains of vocal learners.
(J Comp Neurol, 2015-04-15)
Only a few distantly related mammals and birds have the trait of complex vocal learning,
which is the ability to imitate novel sounds. This ability is critical for speech
acquisition and production in humans, and is attributed ...
NSF workshop report: discovering general principles of nervous system organization by comparing brain maps across species.
(J Comp Neurol, 2014-05-01)
Efforts to understand nervous system structure and function have received new impetus
from the federal Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN)
Initiative. Comparative analyses can contribute ...
Global view of the functional molecular organization of the avian cerebrum: mirror images and functional columns.
(J Comp Neurol, 2013-11)
Based on quantitative cluster analyses of 52 constitutively expressed or behaviorally
regulated genes in 23 brain regions, we present a global view of telencephalic organization
of birds. The patterns of constitutively expressed ...

Molecular profiling of the developing avian telencephalon: regional timing and brain subdivision continuities.
(J Comp Neurol, 2013-11)
In our companion study (Jarvis et al. [2013] J Comp Neurol. doi: 10.1002/cne.23404)
we used quantitative brain molecular profiling to discover that distinct subdivisions
in the avian pallium above and below the ventricle ...
Maintenance and neuronal differentiation of chicken induced pluripotent stem-like cells.
(Stem Cells Int, 2014)
Pluripotent stem cells have the potential to become any cell in the adult body, including
neurons and glia. Avian stem cells could be used to study questions, like vocal learning,
that would be difficult to examine with ...
Radioactive in situ hybridization for detecting diverse gene expression patterns in tissue
(Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2012-04-27)
Knowing the timing, level, cellular localization, and cell type that a gene is expressed
in contributes to our understanding of the function of the gene. Each of these features
can be accomplished with in situ hybridization ...
Mammalian genes induce partially reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells in non-mammalian vertebrate and invertebrate species.
(Elife, 2013-09-03)
Cells are fundamental units of life, but little is known about evolution of cell states.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are once differentiated cells that have been
re-programmed to an embryonic stem cell-like state, ...

Interspecies avian brain chimeras reveal that large brain size differences are influenced by cell-interdependent processes.
(PLoS One, 2012)
Like humans, birds that exhibit vocal learning have relatively delayed telencephalon
maturation, resulting in a disproportionately smaller brain prenatally but enlarged
telencephalon in adulthood relative to vocal non-learning ...
