Abstract
Recent theories of norepinephrine (NE) function suggest that NE modulates the transition between stereotyped, goal-directed behavior and more variable, exploratory behaviors that facilitate learning and adaptation. We provide evidence for context-dependent switching by NE that is analogous to this explore/exploit strategy in the vocal system of the zebra finch (
