Project description:New experiences can trigger changes in gene expression in the brain. To understand this phenomenon better, we studied zebra finches hearing playbacks of birdsong. Earlier research had shown that initial playbacks of a novel song transiently increase the ZENK (ZIF-268, EGR1, NGFIA, KROX-24) mRNA in the auditory forebrain, but the response selectively habituates after repetition of the stimulus. Here, using DNA microarray analysis, we show that novel song exposure induces rapid changes in thousands of RNAs, with even more RNAs decreasing than increasing. Habituation training leads to the emer- gence of a different gene expression profile a day later, accompanied by loss of essentially all of the rapid "novel" molecular responses. The novel molecular profile is characterized by increases in genes involved in transcription and RNA processing and decreases in ion channels and putative noncoding RNAs. The M-bM-^@M-^XM-bM-^@M-^XhabituatedM-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^@M-^Y profile is dominated by changes in genes for mitochondrial proteins. A parallel proteomic analysis [2-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and sequencing by mass spectrometry] also detected changes in mito- chondrial proteins, and direct enzyme assay demonstrated changes in both complexes I and IV in the habituated state. Thus a natural experience, in this case hearing the sound of birdsong, can lead to major shifts in energetics and macromolecular metabolism in higher centers in the brain. Adult male zebra finches were acoustically isolated and exposed to silence, novel song, or familiar song (exposure to testing song for 3 hours on the day prior to testing) on test day. The auditory lobule (AL) was collected 30 minutes after the onset of the testing experience. All samples were hybridized against the universal SoNG reference RNA pool, 6 biological replicates per group in each of 3 groups.

Project description:Male zebra finches of a captive population in the University of Sheffield were artificially selected for long or short sperm based on their breeding values for three generations. We used Affymetrix microarrays to examine gene expression differences between testes of selection line male birds.

Project description:Human speech is one of the few examples of vocal learning among mammals, yet ~half of avian species exhibit this ability. Its genetic basis is unknown beyond a shared requirement for FoxP2 in both humans and zebra finches. Here we manipulated FoxP2 isoforms in Area X during a critical period for song development, delineating, for the first time, unique contributions of each to vocal learning. We used weighted gene coexpression network analysis of RNA-seq data to construct transcriptional profiles and found gene modules correlated to singing, learning, or vocal variability. The juvenile song modules were preserved adults, whereas the learning modules were not. The learning modules were preserved in the striatopallidum adjacent to Area X whereas the song modules were not. The confluence of learning and singing coexpression in juvenile, but not adult, Area X may underscore molecular processes that drive vocal learning in zebra finches and, by analogy, humans.

Project description:Song learning in zebra finches is a prototypical example of a complex learned behavior, yet knowledge on the underlying molecular processes is limited. Therefore, we characterized transcriptomic (RNA sequencing) and epigenomic (RRBS, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing; immunofluorescence) dynamics in matched zebra finch telencephalon samples of both sexes from 1 day post hatching (1 dph) to adulthood, spanning the critical period for song learning (20 dph and 65 dph). We identified extensive transcriptional neurodevelopmental changes during postnatal telencephalon development. DNA (hydroxy)methylation was very low, yet increased over time, particularly in song control nuclei. Only a small fraction of the massive differential expression in the developing zebra finch telencephalon could be explained by differential CpG and CpH DNA methylation. However, a strong association between DNA methylation and age dependent gene expression was found for various transcription factors (i.a. OTX2, AR and FOS) involved in neurodevelopment. Additionally, genomic regions featured by age dependent differential methylation in differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched for specific transcription factor binding motifs. Incomplete dosage compensation was found to be largely responsible for sexually dimorphic gene expression, with dosage compensation increasing throughout life. In conclusion, our results indicate that DNA methylation regulates neurodevelopmental gene expression dynamics through steering transcription factor activity, but does not explain sexually dimorphic gene expression patterns in zebra finch telencephalon.
