- 🧠 time 2 study #cerebellum in birdsong? 🧠 In #neuroskyence songbirds are a model to study learned motor skills like speaking a language The cerebellum plays a role in these behaviors in humans. It remains unclear if it interacts w/song system, brain areas for song in songbirds #prattle 💬 1/2
- Always happy to see researchers like A. Leblois, going beyond the classical birdsong circuit & looking at the #cerebellum to give it its due: “A lobule-specific neuronal representation of song temporal structure in the songbird cerebellum” 🧪🐦🎵🧠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Yes, very nice! Fluent vocal production is motorically complex and requires predictive/pre-conscious loading of motor transformations. What better brain region for that than cerebellum? We've been looking at it in cetaceans... journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
