Steroids, not songs, spur growth of brain regions in sparrows
Neuroresearchers are attempting to understand if structural changes in the brain are correlation to sensory experience or the performance of learned behavior, and now University of Washington scientists have found evidence that one species of songbird apparently has something in common with a few baseball sluggers. Both rely on steroids, birds to increase the size of song production areas of their brain and some players, apparently, to knock a fastball out of the park........
