Fig. 4. Effects of local gabazine microinfusion on HVC premotor neuron spiking during call production.

Fig. 4

a Top: Example of call-related bursting for a premotor neuron recorded during saline control. Bottom: Same cell as (top) but recorded during local gabazine infusion. x, y scale bars: 10 ms, 10 mV. b Number of call-related spikes per burst in premotor neurons recorded under control or gabazine conditions (control: 2.4 ± 1.2 spikes per burst, n = 14 neurons in 10 birds, 2 were active during both call types; gabazine: 5.7 ± 2.8 spikes per burst, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p = 0.003, n = 9 neurons in 3 birds). c Mean burst onset latency relative to call onsets for premotor neurons recorded during control conditions (blue) vs. premotor neurons recorded during gabazine microinfusion (orange), (spiking onset for control: −10 ± 22 ms, n = 14 neurons, for gabazine: −26 ± 26 ms, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p = 0.039, n = 9 neurons).
