For over two decades, researchers have understood that certain regions in the avian brain associated with singing exhibit neural activity during sleep that mirrors their patterns when birds are awake and vocalizing. This phenomenon sheds light on the intricate processes underlying avian communication and cognition. Understanding how these neural patterns persist during sleep underscores the profound connection between birds’ vocal behaviors and the brain activity supporting them. This discovery underscores the complexity of avian cognition and suggests that even during restful states such as sleep, birds’ brains remain engaged in activities essential for their survival and social interactions.
