Massachusetts, USA (Science): Young animals engage in variable exploratory behaviors essential for the development of neural circuitry and adult motor control, yet the neural basis of these behaviors is largely unknown. Juvenile songbirds produce subsong—a succession of primitive vocalizations akin to human babbling.
