title: 'Experience selectively alters functional connectivity within a neural network to predict learned behavior in juvenile songbirds: supporting data'
description: 'This repository contains neuroimaging data supporting the main findings from our study. We conducted longitudinal resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) functional connectivity (FC) and song analyses in developing male zebra finches. Analyses identified a cluster within the auditory forebrain that showed a different developmental trajectory of FC development based on whether a bird had been exposed to an adult song tutor. The FC of this cluster also predicted the emergence of song stereotypy as the birds matured.'
