  • Gene expression of Dio2 (thyroid hormone converting enzyme) in telencephalon is linked with predisposed biological motion preference in domestic chicks

    Regarding the neural mechanisms underlying imprinting, particularly those involved in post-imprinting memory consolidation, a variety of cellular and molecular events have been identified in IMM, the critical pallial area mentioned above [3,5,6]. Metabolic activation [15,16] is followed by immediate early gene expression [17], leading to morphological changes of synapses, paralleling the post-imprinting increase in the proportion of neurons that fire in response to the imprinting object [18]. However, it has not been addressed what events are responsible for the earliest phase of imprinting in which innate predisposition is involved.

    So the lateral cerebral area could be involved in the performance of well-imprinted chicks and is not required in the early stages of imprinting. This view is supported by a 2-deoxyglucose study after imprinting which gave as hot spots both IMM and the lateral cerebral area (Kohsaka et al., 1979). Furthermore, anatomical studies have revealed connections running from IMM to the lateral cerebral area (Bradley and Horn, 1979).

    Citation Excerpt :

    Lesions seem to affect the retention capability of a previously acquired preference (for imprinted color, brightness and shape preferences—Salzen et al., 1978). 2-Deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographic studies in visually imprinted chicks (Kohsaka et al., 1979) also have shown a higher accumulation of the radioactively labeled glucose in the lateral telencephalon. This idea of a lateral telencephalic area being involved in imprinting was not further examined thereafter for some time because there was ample evidence in another imprinting paradigm, namely filial imprinting, for a prominent role of a more medial telencephalic region, the intermediate medial mesopallium—IMM (formerly called IMHV), in the storage and retention of imprinted information (for review, see Horn, 2000; Bolhuis, 1991).
