Temperature manipulation in songbird brain implicates the premotor nucleus HVC in birdsong syntax
Yisi Zhang, Jason D. Wittenbach, Dezhe Z. Jin +1
Behavioral sequences of animals are often structured and can be described by probabilistic rules (or "action syntax"). The patterns of vocal elements in birdsong are a prime exampl…
An adapting auditory-motor feedback loop can contribute to generating vocal repetition
Jason Wittenbach, Kristofer E. Bouchard, Michael S. Brainard +1
Consecutive repetition of actions is common in behavioral sequences. Although integration of sensory feedback with internal motor programs is important for sequence generation, if…
Potentiation Decay of Synapses and the Length Distributions of Synfire Chains Self-organized in Recurrent Neural Networks
Aaron Miller, Dezhe Z. Jin
Synfire chains are thought to underlie precisely-timed sequences of spikes observed in various brain regions and across species. How they are formed is not understood. Here we anal…
A compact statistical model of the song syntax in Bengalese finch
Dezhe Z. Jin, Alexay A. Kozhevnikov
Songs of many songbird species consist of variable sequences of a finite number of syllables. A common approach for characterizing the syntax of these complex syllable sequences is…
Grandmother cells and the storage capacity of the human brain
John Collins, Dezhe Z. Jin
Quian Quiroga et al. [Nature 435, 1102 (2005)] have recently discovered neurons that appear to have the characteristics of grandmother (GM) cells. Here we quantitatively assess the…
