摘要：
Birdsong is a natural learned behavior used extensively for vocal communication and controlled by a well-characterized set of discrete brain areas in songbirds. The acts of hearing and producing birdsong lead to robust transcriptional regulation of expression of activity-dependent genes in auditory and vocal control areas respectively. Therefore, birdsong provides an ideal paradigm to study transcription regulation by a natural learned stimulus in the brain of awake behaving animals. In this chapter we first discuss briefly some basic aspects of birdsong neurobiology, focusing on the substrates for perceptual and motor aspects of vocal communication in songbirds. We then discuss our current knowledge of the influence of stimulus type, behavioral condition and context on transcriptional regulation by song; the mechanisms regulating induced gene expression in song-encoding neurons; and the possible functional significance of the transcriptional response to song in auditory and song control areas of the songbird brain.
