چکیده انگلیسی


- Norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin are present in the song system of juvenile zebra finches.
- Levels of these neurotranstmitters are equivalent in males and females across song nuclei.
- Estradiol increases norepinephrine in the robust nucleus of the acropallium.
- In HVC, estradiol increases dopamine in females only and decreases serotonin across the two sexes.

The neural song system in zebra finches is highly sexually dimorphic; only males sing and the brain regions controlling song are far larger in males than females. Estradiol (E2) administered during development can partially masculinize both structure and function. However, additional mechanisms, including those through which E2 may act, remain unclear. Male and female zebra finches were treated with E2 or control vehicle from post-hatching days 3 through 25, at which time norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) were measured in individual nuclei of the song system. Main effects of sex were not detected. However, E2 increased NE in the robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA). In HVC (proper name), the hormone decreased 5-HT across the two sexes and increased DA in females only. These effects suggest that, while baseline levels of these neurotransmitters may not contribute to sexually dimorphic development of the song system, they could play specific roles in functions common to both sexes and/or in modification of the song system by exogenous E2.
