Neural activity in cortico-basal ganglia circuits of juvenile songbirds encodes performance during goal-directed learning

Cortico-basal ganglia circuits are thought to mediate goal-directed learning by a process of outcome evaluation to gradually select appropriate motor actions. We investigated spiking activity in core and shell subregions of the cortical nucleus LMAN during development as juvenile zebra finches are a...
