Neural correlates of threat perception: neural equivalence of conspecific and heterospecific mobbing calls is learned.

Neural correlates of threat perception: neural equivalence of conspecific and heterospecific mobbing calls is learned.

Songbird auditory areas (i.e., CMM and NCM) are preferentially activated to playback of conspecific vocalizations relative to heterospecific and arbitrary noise. Here, we asked if the neural response to auditory stimulation is not simply preferential for conspecific vocalizations but also for the in...
