Figure 3. Learning is associated with synchronous network inhibition.

Figure 3

(A) Recording schematic and 2-photon images of four recorded HVC premotor neurons in the same zebra finch. (B and C) Average inhibitory (B) and excitatory (C) current traces of premotor neurons shown in (A) during tutor song presentation. (D) Regularity of tutor song-evoked inhibitory currents across different neurons within one bird significantly increases with learning (P < 0.05, Pearson linear correlation). The filled circles represent data shown in the examples to the left. (E) Regularity of tutor song-evoked excitatory currents across different neurons within one bird does not significantly change depending on performance (P = 0.35, Pearson linear correlation).
