Song exposure regulates known and novel microRNAs in the zebra finch auditory forebrain
Abstract Background In an important model for neuroscience, songbirds learn to discriminate songs they hear during tape-recorded playbacks, as demonstrated by song-specific habituation of both behavioral and neurogenomic responses in the auditory forebrain.We hypothesized that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) may participate in the changing pattern of ge
