Parallel pathways for vocal learning in basal ganglia of songbirds

The cortical nucleus LMAN provides the output of a basal ganglia pathway that is necessary for vocal learning in juvenile songbirds. The shell subregion of LMAN gives rise to recurrent loops that may subserve specific learning-related functions. We report here that lesions within the LMAN(shell) pat...

description The cortical nucleus LMAN provides the output of a basal ganglia pathway that is necessary for vocal learning in juvenile songbirds. The shell subregion of LMAN gives rise to recurrent loops that may subserve specific learning-related functions. We report here that lesions within the LMAN(shell) pathway cause no immediate disruption of vocal behavior, but prevent the development of stable vocal sequences as well as the ability to imitate vocal sounds.
