Behavioral and electrophysiological studies of the avian thalamic song nucleus Uvaeformis including multiunit recordings in awake, behaving birds and song recordings from adult birds pre- and post-lesion of Uva.

This data set contains multiunit recordings of neurons in the thalamic nucleus
Uvaeformis (Uva) of adult male zebra finches (Taeniopygia gutatta) during singing
(n=3 birds, >90 days post hatch). In addition, we have included song recordings
from adult birds pre- and post-lesion of Uva. The results are reported in:
