Neural circuits: How the songbird brain orchestrates courtship displays

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

Volitional production of complex behaviors can be motivated by intrinsic rewards and also by extrinsic cues, like social engagement. A new study has revealed the neural circuit permitting social motivation to release multi-component courtship behaviors in a songbird, specifically the zebra finch.
