Mirrored patterns of lateralized neuronal activation reflect old and new memories in the avian auditory cortex

Highlights • Sequentially learned songs elicit unique lateralized responses in zebra finches. • Right hemispheric activation correlates with memories from early in development. • Left hemispheric activation correlates with memories acquired more recently.
