| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Most of animals can vocalize on their own manners without learning, which is called as innate vocalization. However, the regulation mechanism underlying the phenomenon remains unknown. We used the crowing of roosters as the model. We showed that not only anticipatory predawn crowing, but also external stimulus-induced crowing, is under the control of a circadian clock.
