The molecular architecture of a complex social behavior: gregarious song

Abstract The medial preoptic area (mPOA) regulates the probability and intensity of singing behavior in birds. Polzin and colleagues examined the molecular changes in the mPOA that were associated with gregarious song in European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). High-throughput transcriptome analyses i...

description Abstract The medial preoptic area (mPOA) regulates the probability and intensity of singing behavior in birds. Polzin and colleagues examined the molecular changes in the mPOA that were associated with gregarious song in European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). High-throughput transcriptome analyses identified glutamate and dopamine pathways were highly enriched with gregarious song.
