Abstract
The temporal pattern of birdsong derives largely from the timing of activity in the bird's respiratory muscles. Birds can simultaneously produce two different temporal patterns from the left and right halves of their vocal organ. Recent studies using lesions, neurophysiological recordings, and electrical perturbation of neural signaling in song nuclei are beginning to elucidate the central mechanisms of song pattern generation.
