Title
Z-series images of a cleared right brain of zebra finch showing tutor’s song responsive neurons in NCM
Description
Z-series images obtained with a custom-made light-sheet fluorescence microscope. The EYFP expressing neurons were immunohistochemically enhanced with anti-GFP antibody.

Description
Fixed and cleared zebra finch brain after song learning from the tutor-bird. To specifically express EYFP in the caudomedial nidopallium (NCM) neurons activated by hearing the tutor’s song, the authors used Adeno-associated viral vector with a cFos promotor and tetracycline (TetON) system. The Zebra finch adult injected with the AAV-cFos-TetON-EYFP-PEST in the NCM were exposed to tutor’s song playback concurrent with doxycycline in their drinking water to induce EYFP expression only in tutor’s song-responsive neurons.
Extrinsic Variable
Adeno-associated viral vector, AAV-cFos-TetON-EYFP-PEST, was injected to the bird until at least 60 days post-hatching.
