The role of nonlinear dynamics of the syrinx in the volalizations of a songbird
Article Abstract:
Evidence is presented that further levels of temporal organization are required for birdsong, in addition to central neural control, following a temporal and spectral examination of song of the zebra finch. Rapid song modulations were revealed that were consistent with transitions in the dynamical state of the syrinx. The syrinx was found to produce oscillatory sequences of a spectral and temporally complex nature.

Scalable architecture in mammalian brains
Article Abstract:
Research comparing mammalian brain parts is presented. Particular attention is given to searching for size-independent effects. The brain is used as a size reference in the process of developing a brain composition system of the species-by-species type.

Presynaptic glycine receptors enhance transmitter release at a mammalian central synapse
Article Abstract:
Research examining ways in which presynaptic glycine receptors can enhance the release of transmitter in the central synapse of mammalians is presented. Experimental results are analysed as showing new site of action for transmitter glycine.
