1.
Bottjer S, Le Moing C, Li E, Yuan R
eNeuro . 2022 May; 9(3). PMID: 35545423
Vocal learning in songbirds is mediated by a highly localized system of interconnected forebrain regions, including recurrent loops that traverse the cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus. This brain-behavior system provides...

Chung J, Bottjer S
J Comp Neurol . 2021 Nov; 530(8):1288-1301. PMID: 34818442
Vocal learning in songbirds is mediated by cortico-basal ganglia circuits that govern diverse functions during different stages of development. We investigated developmental changes in axonal projections to and from motor...

Yuan R, Bottjer S
eNeuro . 2020 Jul; 7(4). PMID: 32661067
A region within songbird cortex, dorsal intermediate arcopallium (AId), is functionally analogous to motor cortex in mammals and has been implicated in song learning during development. Non-vocal factors such as...

Yuan R, Bottjer S
J Neurophysiol . 2018 Dec; 121(2):530-548. PMID: 30540540
Procedural skill learning requires iterative comparisons between feedback of self-generated motor output and a goal sensorimotor pattern. In juvenile songbirds, neural representations of both self-generated behaviors (each bird's own immature...

Bottjer S, Ronald A, Kaye T
J Neurophysiol . 2018 Nov; 121(1):218-237. PMID: 30461366
The caudomedial nidopallium (NCM) is a higher level region of auditory cortex in songbirds that has been implicated in encoding learned vocalizations and mediating perception of complex sounds. We made...

Achiro J, Shen J, Bottjer S
Elife . 2017 Dec; 6. PMID: 29256393
Cortico-basal ganglia circuits are thought to mediate goal-directed learning by a process of outcome evaluation to gradually select appropriate motor actions. We investigated spiking activity in core and shell subregions...

Paterson A, Bottjer S
J Comp Neurol . 2017 Jul; 525(15):3312-3340. PMID: 28681379
Vocal learning in songbirds and humans is strongly influenced by social interactions based on sensory inputs from several modalities. Songbird vocal learning is mediated by cortico-basal ganglia circuits that include...
8.
Miller-Sims V, Bottjer S
J Neurophysiol . 2014 Apr; 112(1):81-94. PMID: 24694936
Like humans, songbirds learn vocal sounds from "tutors" during a sensitive period of development. Vocal learning in songbirds therefore provides a powerful model system for investigating neural mechanisms by which...

Achiro J, Bottjer S
J Neurosci . 2013 Sep; 33(36):14475-88. PMID: 24005299
Vocal learning in songbirds, like speech acquisition in humans, entails a period of sensorimotor integration during which vocalizations are evaluated via auditory feedback and progressively refined to achieve an imitation...
10.
Miller-Sims V, Bottjer S
PLoS One . 2013 Jan; 7(12):e52365. PMID: 23285011
Songbirds are one of the few groups of animals that learn the sounds used for vocal communication during development. Like humans, songbirds memorize vocal sounds based on auditory experience with...
