Glutamatergic Circuits in the Zebra Finch Brain (Taeniopygia guttata)

Zusatztext

Birdsong learning is a widely used model for studying the neural mechanisms of learning and memory. Songbirds, much like human, learn their vocalizations by imitating adult conspecifics. The songbird brain has a system of interconnected nuclei that are specialized for singing and song learning. This book illustrated the origins and putative targets of glutamatergic neurons in the zebra finch brain, with a particular focus on nuclei or areas within auditory and song systems. Therefore, it is very useful for electrophysiological study in brain, neuroscientist, veterinary and human medicine.
