Convergent transcriptional specializations in the brains of humans and song-learning birds

Convergent transcriptional specializations in the brains of humans and song-learning birds

Song-learning birds and humans share independently evolved similarities in brain pathways for vocal learning that are essential for song and speech and are not found in most other species. Comparisons of brain transcriptomes of song-learning birds and humans relative to vocal nonlearners identified...
