支配雄性斑胸草雀发声器官（鸣管）的舌下运动神经元对声音表现出选择性的、长潜伏期（50 毫秒）的反应。这种反应通过前脑歌曲控制核的损伤而消除。不同的歌曲音节会引起不同注射运动神经元的反应。因此，同种发声可以被视为一组发声姿势的成员，从而与其他环境声音不同。这一假设与鸟类的言语感知运动理论相似。
The hypoglossal motor neurons that innervate the vocal organ (syrinx) of the male zebra finch show a selective, long-latency (50-millisecond) response to sound. This response is eliminated by lesions to forebrain song-control nuclei. Different song syllables elicit a response from different syringeal motor neurons. Conspecific vocalizations may therefore be perceived as members of a set of vocal gestures and thus distinct from other environmental sounds. This hypothesis is an avian parallel to the motor theory of speech perception in humans.
