The songbird connectome (OSCINE-NET.ORG): structure-function organization beyond the canonical vocal control network.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the neural basis of behavior requires insight into how different brain systems coordinate with each other. Existing connectomes for various species have highlighted brain systems essential to various aspects of behavior, yet their application to complex learned behaviors remains limited. Research on vocal learning in songbirds has extensively focused on the vocal control network, though recent work implicates a variety of circuits in contributing to important aspects of vocal behavior. Thus, a more comprehensive understanding of brain-wide connectivity is essential to further assess the totality of circuitry underlying this complex learned behavior.
