Early auditory and adult mating experiences interact with singer identity to shape neural responses to song in female zebra finches

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Isabella Catalano and Sarah C Woolley | Summary: Social and sensory experiences across the lifespan can shape social interactions, however, experience-dependent plasticity is widely studied within discrete life stages. In the socially monogamous zebra finch, in which females use learned vocal signals to identify individuals and form long-lasting pair […]
