Durations of preparatory motor activity in the avian basal ganglia for songs and calls in a species of songbirds
2022, Neuroscience ResearchCitation Excerpt :Further research is necessary to determine the relationship between neural responses in the song nuclei and emotion expression related with trill-calls. Because Area X is not necessary for the actual vocalization of song or calls (Sohrabji et al., 1990; Wild, 1997), the gradual activity increase in Area X neurons does not play a role in execution of the motor command, and instead reflects the global state. There are some candidate areas which may be responsible for this gradual increase in neural activity in Area X. First, dopaminergic neurons project from VTA and PAG to Area X (Bottjer et al., 1989; Tanaka et al., 2018), and this might affect neural activity.
