Pleasure seeking and birdsong.
Riters LV. Riters LV. Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2011 Oct;35(9):1837-45. doi: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2010.12.017. Epub 2011 Jan 18. Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2011. PMID: 21251924 Free PMC article. Review.
Birdsong and the Neural Regulation of Positive Emotion.
Riters LV, Polzin BJ, Maksimoski AN, Stevenson SA, Alger SJ. Riters LV, et al. Front Psychol. 2022 Jun 22;13:903857. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.903857. eCollection 2022. Front Psychol. 2022. PMID: 35814050 Free PMC article. Review.
Birds are not commonly admired for emotional expression, and when they are, the focus is typically on negative states; yet vocal behavior is considered a direct reflection of an individual's emotional state. Given that over 4000 species of songbird produce learned, complex …

Endogenous opioids facilitate intrinsically-rewarded birdsong.
Stevenson SA, Piepenburg A, Spool JA, Angyal CS, Hahn AH, Zhao C, Riters LV. Stevenson SA, et al. Among authors: riters lv. Sci Rep. 2020 Jul 6;10(1):11083. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-67684-1. Sci Rep. 2020. PMID: 32632172 Free PMC article.
Studies using conditioned place preference (CPP) tests of reward indicate that song production in gregarious contexts correlates positively with a bird's intrinsic reward state and with opioid markers in the medial preoptic nucleus (mPOA). ...

Song practice as a rewarding form of play in songbirds.
Riters LV, Spool JA, Merullo DP, Hahn AH. Riters LV, et al. Behav Processes. 2019 Jun;163:91-98. doi: 10.1016/j.beproc.2017.10.002. Epub 2017 Oct 12. Behav Processes. 2019. PMID: 29031813 Free PMC article. Review.
This review highlights research suggesting at least partially overlapping roles for neural reward systems in birdsong and mammalian play and evidence that steroid hormones modify these systems to shift animals from periods of intrinsically rewarded motor exploration (i.e., singin …

Using seasonality and birdsong to understand mechanisms underlying context-appropriate shifts in social motivation and reward.
Riters LV, Stevenson SA. Riters LV, et al. Horm Behav. 2022 Jun;142:105156. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2022.105156. Epub 2022 Mar 18. Horm Behav. 2022. PMID: 35313200 Free PMC article. Review.
This is exceptionally apparent when seasonal contexts are considered in seasonally breeding songbirds as they cycle from periods of sexual motivation and reward during the breeding season to periods of extreme gregariousness outside the breeding season when non-sexual social inte …
