| Comments |
HVC (High Vocal Center) includes two projection
neuron (PN) types, one (HVCRA) that innervates the song premotor
nucleus RA, and another (HVCX) that provides auditory and
song motor-related input to the anterior forebrain pathway
(AFP), a striatothalamic circuit necessary for audition-dependent
vocal plasticity in adult zebra finches. |
