Distinct patterns of gene expression in the medial preoptic area are related to gregarious singing behavior in European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris)

Gregarious song performed in flocks by adult European starlings is a social behavior proposed to indicate positive affect and engender social cohesion within a flock. The medial preoptic area (mPOA) is a brain region known to have a role in the production of gregarious song. However, the underpinning neurochemical systems remain largely unexplored. In this study, the authors used RNA sequencing to characterize patterns of gene expression in the mPOA of male and female starlings singing gregarious song to investigate the pathways potentially involved in its production.

Aims and scope

BMC Neuroscience is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of neuroscience, welcoming studies that provide insight into the molecular, cellular, developmental, genetic and genomic, systems, network, cognitive and behavioral aspects of nervous system function in both health and disease.  Experimental studies are within scope, as are studies that describe methodological approaches to monitoring or manipulating nervous system function.

Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.

You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences). 

More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.
