Sleep and sensorimotor integration during early vocal learning in a songbird

Behavioural studies widely implicate sleep in memory consolidation in the learning of a broad range of behaviours. During sleep, brain regions are reactivated, and specific patterns of neural activity are replayed consistent with patterns observed in previous waking behaviour. Birdsong learning is a paradigmatic model system for skill learning...
