Tracheosyringeal nerve transection in juvenile male zebra finches decreases BDNF in HVC and RA and the projection between them
2014, Neuroscience LettersCitation Excerpt :The tracheosyringeal nerves were transected prior to the time when males begin to produce song. In adulthood, this manipulation dramatically affects the overall structure of song and the characteristics of individual syllables [34,46]. In juveniles, this surgery results in the production of extremely abnormal songs which contain simple syllables consisting of harmonically related notes; this developing song is far less complex than the plastic song of unmanipulated birds and very different from the tutor's [36].
Deafening Drives Cell-Type-Specific Changes to Dendritic Spines in a Sensorimotor Nucleus Important to Learned Vocalizations
2012, NeuronCitation Excerpt :One major source of auditory input to HVC is the sensorimotor nucleus interfacialis (NIf) (Cardin and Schmidt, 2004; Coleman and Mooney, 2004). However, NIf lesions do not trigger song degradation in adult zebra finches (Cardin et al., 2005) and do not block song degradation driven by vocal nerve cut (Roy and Mooney, 2009), a process that is thought to result from distorted auditory feedback (Williams and McKibben, 1992). Additionally, strong and selective auditory responses persist in HVC following NIf lesions, indicating that HVC receives an alternate source of auditory information (Roy and Mooney, 2009).
