Rhythmic cortical neurons increase their oscillations and sculpt basal ganglia signaling during motor learning

TL;DR: Network changes that shape cortical‐to‐basal ganglia signaling during motor learning are revealed, including changes in the frequency and power of oscillatory bursting during singing and the correlated activity between rhythmic neuron pairs increased with development.

Vocal development in nestling kea parrots (Nestor notabilis)

TL;DR: It is suggested that vocal signatures may be relevant to the division of parental resources in the nest, and individually discriminable from hatching until the end of the study, thus providing evidence for vocal signatures.
