Pupil size changes in awake and sleeping birds in opposite ways to mammals. The pupil not only regulates the amount of...
Vocal turn-taking is a fundamental organizing principle of human conversation but the neural circuit mechanisms that...
Inhibitory neurons in the zebra finch brain control coordinated vocal interactions Zebra finches can take turns when...
Premotor predictions facilitate vocal interactions. Here, we study such mechanisms in the forebrain nucleus HVC (proper...
Scientists immerse themselves into the structure of networks Under the framework of a new Marie Skłodowska Curie...
Vocal control areas in the brain of weaver birds fire in time when they sing together When a male or female white-browed...
Many organisms coordinate rhythmic motor actions with those of a partner to generate cooperative social behavior such as...
Many birds fly non-stop for days or longer, but do they sleep in flight and if so, how? It is commonly assumed that flying...
Birds engage in all types of sleep in flight, but in remarkably small amounts For the first time, researchers have...
A team of scientists headed by Niels Rattenborg from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen has...
Gestural communication in bonobos and chimpanzees shows turn-taking and clearly distinguishable communication styles Human...
Initiation of joint travel in mother-infant dyads is communicated via gestures and vocalizations Not only humans learn how...
Short-term adjustments of signal characteristics allow animals to maintain reliable communication in noise...
Bats adapt their echolocation calls to noise Bats find their way acoustically when they are flying by using echolocation...
Singing developes independent from gender differences in the brain In female songbirds, brain areas responsible for song...
Late-hatched canaries learn their songs as well as early-hatched birds Most songbirds learn their songs from their father...
New research published in Genome Biology reveals clues on the evolution of singing behaviour in canaries. Stefan Leitner...
