The canary androgen receptor mRNA is localized in the song control nuclei of the brain and is rapidly regulated by testosterone
Tóm tắt
Singing in canaries is an androgen‐inducible behavior, under the control of an identified motor pathway, which includes several discrete “song nuclei” in the telencephalon. To determine whether the mRNA for the canary androgen receptor (cAR) is expressed in these song control nuclei, we synthesized probes from the recently cloned cAR cDNA and used
