Resumen:
In this work we study the generation of respiratory patterns by oscine birds. We present a model capable of generating realistic respiratory patterns, during normal respiration and song production. The model accounts for the interaction between neural nuclei and air sac dynamics. We performed experiments in vivo in order to test the predictions of the model, measuring air sac pressure during song and normal respiration in canaries  (Serinus canaria)͒.
