  1. ncbi Bi-directional sexual dimorphisms of the song control nucleus HVC in a songbird with unison song
    Manfred Gahr
    Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany
    PLoS ONE 3:e3073. 2008
    ..Male-typical and female-typical sexual differentiation appears to act on different aspects of the phenotypes within the same brain areas, leading females and males to produce the same behaviour using different cellular mechanisms...
  2. ncbi Melatonin affects the temporal pattern of vocal signatures in birds
    Sébastien Derégnaucourt
    Department of Behavioural Neurobiology, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany
    J Pineal Res 53:245-58. 2012
    ..Taken together, these results suggest that melatonin is involved in the control of motor timing of noncircadian behavioral sequences through an evolutionary conserved neuroendocrine pathway...
  3. ncbi Social status affects the degree of sex difference in the songbird brain
    Cornelia Voigt
    Department of Behavioural Neurobiology, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany
    PLoS ONE 6:e20723. 2011
    ..However, this implies that once a male has become dominant it produces the duetting song with a different neural phenotype than subordinate males...
  4. ncbi Large-scale synchronized activity during vocal deviance detection in the zebra finch auditory forebrain
    Gabriel J L Beckers
    Department of Behavioural Neurobiology, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, D 82319 Seewiesen, Germany
    J Neurosci 32:10594-608. 2012
    ..We hypothesize that this deviance-sensitive, internally synchronized network of neurons is involved in the involuntary capturing of attention by unexpected and behaviorally potentially relevant events in natural auditory scenes...
  5. ncbi Sexual differentiation of the vocal control system of birds
    Manfred Gahr
    Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany
    Adv Genet 59:67-105. 2007
    ..Despite the clear evidence of hormone dependency of both adult vocalizations and phenotypes of vocal neuron pools, their causal relation is little understood...
  6. ncbi Behavioural and physiological effects of population density on domesticated Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttata) held in aviaries
    Hanneke Poot
    Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany

    Nicole Geberzahn
    Department of Behavioural Neurobiology, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany
    PLoS ONE 6:e26485. 2011
    ..As most research has been conducted on species with male-only song production, the hormone-dependency of male song is well established. However, female singing and its mechanisms are poorly understood...
