Songbird organotypic culture as an in vitro model for interrogating sparse sequencing networks [PDF]
, 2017 Sparse sequences of neuronal activity are fundamental features of neural circuit computation; however, the underlying homeostatic mechanisms remain poorly understood. To approach these questions, we have developed a method for cellular-resolution imaging

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2012 Synfire chains have long been suggested to generate precisely timed sequences of neural activity. Such activity has been linked to numerous neural functions including sensory encoding, cognitive and motor responses.

Categories, concepts, and calls : auditory perceptual mechanisms and cognitive abilities across different types of birds. [PDF]
, 2013 Although involving different animals, preparations, and objectives, our laboratories (Sturdy's and Cook's) are mutually interested in category perception and concept formation.

Inhibition of miR-128 Enhances Vocal Sequence Organization in Juvenile Songbirds
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 The molecular mechanisms underlying learned vocal communication are not well characterized. This is a major barrier for developing treatments for conditions affecting social communication, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

To transduce a zebra finch: interrogating behavioral mechanisms in a model system for speech. [PDF]
, 2017 The ability to alter neuronal gene expression, either to affect levels of endogenous molecules or to express exogenous ones, is a powerful tool for linking brain and behavior. Scientists continue to finesse genetic manipulation in mice.

Timing avian long-distance migration: from internal clock mechanisms to global flights [PDF]
, 2017 Migratory birds regularly perform impressive long-distance flights, which are timed relative to the anticipated environmental resources at destination areas that can be several thousand kilometres away.

Landbird trends in protected areas using time‐to‐event occupancy models
Ecosphere, 2019 Global populations of wildlife are affected by human activity, land cover change, and climate change. Long‐term monitoring programs across large spatial scales are required to understand how these and other factors affect wildlife populations.

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 In night-migratory songbirds, neurobiological and behavioral evidence suggest the existence of a magnetic sense associated with the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1), possibly providing magnetic positional information. Curiously, neither the
