Identification and analysis of vocal communication pathways in birds through inducible gene expression
The immediate-early gene zenk is an activity-dependent gene highly induced in auditory processing or vocal motor control brain areas when birds engage in hearing or producing song, respectively. Studies of the expression of zenk in songbirds and other avian groups will be reviewed here briefly, with...

| description | The immediate-early gene zenk is an activity-dependent gene highly induced in auditory processing or vocal motor control brain areas when birds engage in hearing or producing song, respectively. Studies of the expression of zenk in songbirds and other avian groups will be reviewed here briefly, with a focus on how this analysis has generated new insights on the brain pathways and mechanisms involved in perceptual and motor aspects of vocal communication and vocal learning.<br>O gene imediato zenk é um gene dependente de atividade que é marcadamente induzido em áreas cerebrais de processamento auditivo ou de controle vocal motor quando pássaros ouvem ou produzem canto, respectivamente. Estudos da expressão de zenk em pássaros canoros e outros grupos de aves será revisto neste artigo, enfocando como esta análise tem gerado novas perspectivas no entendimento das vias e mecanismos envolvidos em aspectos perceptuais e motores da comunicação e do aprendizado vocais. |
