Overexpression of human NR2B receptor subunit in LMAN causes stuttering and song sequence changes in adult zebra finches
Abstract Zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) learn to produce songs in a manner reminiscent of spoken language development in humans. One candidate gene implicated in influencing learning is the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype 2B glutamate receptor (NR2B). Consistent with this idea, NR2B levels...
