This project explores the neural mechanisms behind song learning in songbirds, particularly focusing on how juvenile birds use memorized tutor songs to evaluate their own singing. It aims to identify brain areas involved in template-based vocal learning.
Song learning in oscine birds shares several characteristics with human language learning: it relies on social interaction, active participation, and error feedback, and must take place within a critical period.
Songbirds learn their songs from a tutor: they memorize a template of tutor song and compare their own song to that template until a good match is achieved.
The existence of a song template in the songbird brain has been clearly demonstrated in deafening, isolation, and lesion experiment…
