Songbird is one of the few animals with complex phonological learning ability except human. The song of a songbird is similar to the production of human language. Using songbirds as models, the comparative physiology study provides important insights into the neural mechanisms that regulate language sequences and language learning and production in humans.The singing of songbirds is regulated by the interrelated singing control nuclei. Dopamine, an important neurotransmitter in the brain, is involved in the regulation of movement, cognition, motivation, reward, addiction and learning in mammals, it has been linked to Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and Huntington's syndrome in humans. DA is a key substance in the brain that regulates learning and motivation. In songbirds, dopamine and its receptors are found in a large number of singing-related nuclei. In addition, recent studies have shown that dopamine promotes songbird song learning in juvenile stage, song retention in adulthood, and song production in courtship by regulating the singing-related nuclei. Based on the research of our work , this paper reviews the research progress in the regulation of the dopamine system on the singing-related nuclei and singing behavior of songbirds, the potential mechanism of dopamine signal regulating singing behavior of songbirds was proposed.
