Little is known about the mechanism by which animal spiecies postnatally acquire various abilities through the postnatal interaction with other individuals. The present research studied the neuronal and the develpmental mechanism of the ability of the avian songbirds to discriminate the sequential information in auditory stimulus. The results of this study may contribute to reveal the bioligical bases of the complex auditory information processing such as those involved in the speech comprehension of humans.
