摘要

In sexually mature Bengalese finches, acoustic structures of distance calls show sexual difference. The dorsomedial nucleus (DM) of intercollicular complex is known as the midbrain vocal center of distance calls. Neural input from the robust nucleus of archistriatum (RA) was observed in the DM of sexually mature males, but not observed in that of sexually mature females. The purpose of this study is to clarify some more details of physiological function of the neural system in the DM in distance call production. Electrical stimulation to the DM of both sexes induced a call acoustically similar to distance calls, whose duration depended on the number of the pulses/train of electrical stimulation; electrical stimulation in relatively large (or small) numbers of pulses/train induced calls with relatively long (or short) duration, respectively. Multi-unit spikes were recorded from neurons in the DM. The increment of the frequency of recorded spikes was large when the bird vocalized distance calls, and the number of the frequency decreased when the bird vocalized calls whose duration was shorter than that of distance calls. These results suggest that the neural system in the DM controls duration of distance calls in sexually mature males and females. Electrical stimulation to the DM under different pulse frequencies induced calls with different patterns of time-frequency characteristics. The relation between the pulse frequencies and time-frequency characteristics showed sexual difference. The relation between them in RA-lesioned males was similar to that in females. These results suggest that the neural circuit in the DM of sexually mature males is consisted of sexually common neural circuit controlled by the neural input from the RA, and that these sexually different neural system produce sexually different acoustic structures of distance calls.
