Table 1. Correlation coefficients of the relationship between the number of elements copied from the tutor song and Zenk expression in the HVC, RA and Area X for groups of birds exposed to the tutor song (TUTOR), bird’s own song (BOS), or novel conspecific song (NOVEL).
Stimulus | TUTOR | BOS | NOVEL | |||
r | p-value | r | p-value | r | p-value | |
HVC | 0.30 | NSa | 0.65 | 0.029 | −0.24 | NS |
RA | 0.43 | NS | 0.40 | NS | −0.53 | NS |
Area X | 0.14 | NS | 0.52 | NS | −0.373 | NS |
NS, Not Significant; p-values <0.05 were considered significant.
