The impact of song presentation on songbirds" gene expression leads to behavioural. The impact of song presentation on songbirds" gene expression leads to. In the study song presentation induces gene expression in the songbird. Forebrain , researchers attempted to answer the following question, are genomic regulatory events part of the brain"s response to birdsong? (mello, vicario, and clayton, By observing whether or not there was a rapid response of zenk expression in the songbirds" brains, researchers were able to collect information on these regulatory events. Ultimately, the answer to this question is important in understanding animal behaviour as it allows researchers to examine whether modification at the molecular level can lead to changes in behaviour after exposure to birdsong. It can also help determine the pathways, which are used to relay information to the song-selective areas in the brains of songbirds.
