Corticobasal Ganglia Projecting Neurons Disrupted

Caption

The neurons connecting the motor cortical area and the basal ganglia in the brain were disrupted using viral toxins (left: normal, right: disrupted). This interrupted normal song learning in juveniles but not adults. (Miguel Sánchez-Valpuesta et al., PNAS, October 21, 2019)
