Abstract: The memorization and production of song in songbirds share important parallels with the process of speech acquisition in humans. In songbirds, these processes are dependent on a group of specialized telencephalic nuclei known as the song system: HVC (used as a proper name), RA (robust nucleus of arcopallium), LMAN (lateral magnocellular nucleus of the nidopallium) and striatal Area X. A recent study suggested that the arcopallium of the Sayornis phoebe, a non vocal learner suboscine species, contains a nucleus… Show more

“…Sub‐oscines are a distinct Passeriformes sub‐order that for the most part seems to lack vocal learning and a full‐fledged forebrain song circuitry (Gahr, ; Kroodsma & Konishi, ; Saldanha, Schultz, et al, ), although there is suggestive evidence of limited vocal learning and/or rudimentary telencephalic vocal areas in some species (de Lima et al, ; Liu et al, ). General features of the arcopallium in finches appear similar to those in sub‐oscines, including the location caudal to medial St and OM, and the rostro‐caudal orientation of OM fiber bundles.…”

“…The reproductive biology of this species, and perhaps the vocal neuroanatomy, is potentially influenced by selective forces characteristic of tropical ecosystems, yet it is a migratory thrush within the tropics in a genus with global representation. In addition, to represent the first brain examination of this exceptional singer, it adds to the few studies that examine the song system or brain of a member of the Turdidae family (de Lima et al, ; Iwaniuk et al, ). Our Nissl‐stained sections demonstrated seasonal plasticity of song nucleus HVC, namely a significant decline in volume in males from the breeding to the nonbreeding season.…”
