项目摘要
Auditory experience is essential for song learning and, in some species, for the maintenance of normal adult song patterns. The connectivity and functioning of brain nuclei controlling song learning, perception and production have been extensively examined. Together, these nuclei are called the song system. In the song system, auditory neurons show specialized sensitivity to the bird's own song. This specialized auditory tuning develops as the bird is learning to produce its song. The song system receives its primary sensory input from the auditory system, yet very little is known about how vocalizations are processed by the auditory system. My long-term goal is to characterize the processing of vocalizations used for communication in the songbird auditory system and to examine the role of this processing in song learning and maintenance. The proposed research will examine the processing of natural and synthetic sounds in the songbird auditory midbrain region, the mesencephalicus lateralis, pars dorsalis (MLd). This brain region is the avian homologue of the mammalian inferior colliculus (IC), where specialized responses to conspecific vocalizations are found in bats and mice. The first set of experiments will characterize the spectral temporal tuning of Mld neurons. Characterizations will be done both directly using conventional methods (Le by characterizing a neuron's frequency tuning curves, amplitude modulation and frequency modulation responses) and indirectly by first estimating the spectral temporal receptive fields (STRFs) of neurons with complex synthetic stimuli and then extracting the tuning parameters of the neurons from the STRF. Our second Specific Aim is to assess whether the spectral-temporal characteristics completely describe the response properties on Mld neurons or whether higher order structure (such as that found in natural sound) can also affect their responses. The third Aim will begin to address the issue of auditory tuning for conspecific vocalizations. We will characterize the responses of MLd neurons in two species of songbird, zebra finches and bengalese finches, to conspecific and heterospecific vocalizations. These experiments will test whether or not Mld neurons are specialized to extract the acoustic features of conspecific vocal signals. Taken together, the experiments are designed to provide the first examination of auditory processing related to vocal communication in the songbird midbrain.
听觉体验对歌曲学习至关重要,在某些物种中,对于维持正常的成年歌曲模式至关重要。控制歌曲学习、感知和产生的脑核的连通性和功能已被广泛研究。这些细胞核一起被称为“歌系统”。在鸣叫系统中,听觉神经元对鸟儿自己的鸣叫表现出特殊的敏感性。这种特殊的听觉调音是在鸟学习鸣叫的过程中发展起来的。歌唱系统从听觉系统接收其主要的感觉输入,然而关于发声是如何被听觉系统处理的知之甚少。我的长期目标是描述鸣禽听觉系统中用于交流的发声处理过程,并研究这种处理在歌曲学习和维持中的作用。该研究将研究鸣禽听觉中脑区域,侧中脑,背侧中脑(MLd)对自然和合成声音的处理。这个大脑区域是鸟类与哺乳动物下丘(IC)的同源物,在那里发现了蝙蝠和老鼠对同种鸣叫的特殊反应。第一组实验将表征Mld神经元的光谱时间调谐。表征将直接使用传统方法(即通过表征神经元的频率调谐曲线、幅度调制和频率调制响应)和间接通过首先估计具有复杂合成刺激的神经元的频谱时间感受场(STRF),然后从STRF中提取神经元的调谐参数来完成。我们的第二个具体目标是评估频谱-时间特征是否完全描述了Mld神经元的响应特性,或者是否高阶结构(例如在自然声音中发现的结构)也会影响它们的响应。第三个目标将开始解决同种发声的听觉调谐问题。我们将描述两种鸣禽,斑胸草雀和孟加拉雀的MLd神经元对同种和异种鸣叫的反应。这些实验将测试Mld神经元是否专门用于提取相同声音信号的声学特征。综上所述,这些实验旨在首次研究鸣禽中脑中与声音交流相关的听觉处理过程。
