Embroidered connectome showing connections (coloured threads) between cells (coloured blocks) arranged around a wheel. The dreaming zebra finch Description given as: “Male zebra finches practise singing in their sleep: their vocal cords vibrate and 'song neuron' networks activate. One team of scientists believe that sleeping finches also improvise new tunes. This chart shows the activation of vocal muscles during daytime singing (top) and at night (bottom). Many patterns are common to both, but can you spot evidence of where the finch improvised its song in its dreams?”
