DOI: 10.1002/cne.25474
Abstract: The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small noradrenergic brainstem nucleus that plays a central role in regulating arousal, attention, and performance. In the mammalian brain, individual LC neurons make divergent axonal projections to different brain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.03.018
Abstract: Vocal recognition is central to the coordination and organization of behavior in pair-bonding species such as zebra finches. Zebra finches' vocalizations are individualized and support acoustic discrimination processes. Physiological states - such as the ones… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jneumeth.2019.108399
Abstract: BACKGROUND The demand to sample brain regions in non-model species is increasing as more studies are integrating neurological data into behavioural, ecological or evolutionary analysis. However, the sampling operation is difficult for researchers without neuroscience… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2017.10.012
Abstract: In chicken, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) acts as a thyrotropin (TSH)-releasing factor, mediated by the type 2 CRH receptor (CRHR2) on the thyrotropes of the pituitary gland. It is not known whether CRH also controls TSH… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coz094
Abstract: Summary statement Stress hormones affect immune responses, behaviour and other host traits that can influence how individual hosts contribute to disease cycles (i.e. competence). We found that differences in the duration of experimental elevations of… read more here.

Retinal histogenesis in an altricial avian species, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata, Vieillot 1817)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Anatomy"
DOI: 10.1111/joa.12809
Abstract: Comparative developmental studies have shown that the retina of altricial fish and mammals is incompletely developed at birth, and that, during the first days of life, maturation proceeds rapidly. In contrast, precocial fish and mammals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00694.2017
Abstract: The caudal mesopallium (CM) is a cortical-level area in the songbird auditory pathway where selective, invariant responses to familiar songs emerge. To characterize the cell types that perform this computation, we made whole cell recordings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000521716
Abstract: Tandem repetitive sequences represent a significant part of many genomes but remain poorly characterized due to various methodological difficulties. Here, we describe the tandem repeat composition in the genome of zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata, a… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important in various biological processes, but very few studies on lncRNA have been conducted in birds. To identify IncRNAs expressed during feather development, we analyzed single-stranded RNA-seq (ssRNA-seq) data from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1210/endocr/bqac195
Abstract: In contrast to mammals, birds have higher basal metabolic rate and undertake wide range of energy-demanding activities. As a consequence, food deprivation to birds, even for a short-period, poses major energy challenge. The energy-regulating hypothalamic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0265604
Abstract: Deterioration in the quality of a person’s voice and speech is an early marker of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In humans, the neural circuit that supports vocal motor control consists of a cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortico loop. The… read more here.
