Abstract
⺠Bengalese finches produce sounds â¥2.2 kHz with the left side of their vocal organ. ⺠Denervation of the left vocal organ transiently eliminated higher frequency sound production. ⺠Higher frequency sound production recovered within 30 days following nerve injury. ⺠Nervous system damage, not altered auditory feedback, increased song stereotypy. ⺠This animal model can be used to study recovery of vocal control after nerve injury.
