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.

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

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.

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).

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.

The direct response of the gonads to cues of stress in a temperate songbird species is season-dependent. [PDF]
, 2013 The gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) system in the hypothalamus is often considered the final point in integration of environmental cues as they pertain to the reproductive axis.

Correlative microscopy of densely labeled projection neurons using neural tracers
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010 Three-dimensional morphological information about neural microcircuits is of high interest in neuroscience, but acquiring this information remains challenging. A promising new correlative technique for brain imaging is array tomography (Micheva and Smith,

A Sing-Song Way of Vocalizing: Generalization and Specificity in Language and Birdsong. [PDF]
, 2017 Spoken languages such as German are extremely discrete, whereas others such as Portuguese are melodic or "sing-song" wherein identifying a word relies on what comes before and after.
