Dorsal perspective schematic of an adult male zebra finch brain shows the position of HVC within the dorsal surface of the caudal nidopallium. Approximate axial dimensions of HVC are ∼1.5 mm (mediolateral) × ∼900 μm (rostrocaudal) × ∼500 μm (dorsoventral). In coronal or sagittal sections, HVC is ovoid in shape, with cell populations organized in a superficially isomorphic mosaic. For additional details, see Materials and Methods and Fortune and Margoliash (1995).
