Popis: Juvenile zebra finches learn to sing by memorizing and imitating their tutor's song, yet neural correlates of the tutor song have not been shown. Here the authors show a small subset of higher-level auditory cortex neurons are sharply tuned to the tutor's song and modulated by inhibition and arousal state.
