A simple computational principle predicts vocal adaptation dynamics across age and error size
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 The brain uses sensory feedback to correct errors in behavior. Songbirds and humans acquire vocal behaviors by imitating the sounds produced by adults and rely on auditory feedback to correct vocal errors throughout their lifetimes.

What Is the Role of Thalamostriatal Circuits in Learning Vocal Sequences?
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 Basal ganglia (BG) circuits integrate sensory and motor-related information from the cortex, thalamus, and midbrain to guide learning and production of motor sequences. Birdsong, like speech, is comprised of precisely sequenced vocal elements.

Rudimentary substrates for vocal learning in a suboscine [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2013 Vocal learning has evolved in only a few groups of mammals and birds. The key neuroanatomical and behavioural links bridging vocal learners and non-learners are still unknown. Here we show that a non-vocal-learning suboscine, the eastern phoebe, expresses neural and behavioural substrates that are associated with vocal learning in closely related ...

Additive Gaussian Process Regression for Predictive Design of High‐Performance, Printable Silicones
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A chemistry‐aware design framework for tuning printable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for vat photopolymerization (VPP) is developed using additive Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Polymer network mechanics informs variable groupings, feasible formulation constraints, and interaction variables.

Recent Advances in the Genetics of Vocal Learning [PDF]
Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, 2014 Language is a complex communicative behavior unique to humans, and its genetic basis is poorly understood. Genes associated with human speech and language disorders provide some insights, originating with the FOXP2 transcription factor, a mutation in which is the source of an inherited form of developmental verbal dyspraxia.

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.

Towards Defect Phase Diagrams: From Research Data Management to Automated Workflows
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A research data management infrastructure is presented for the systematic integration of heterogeneous experimental and simulation data required for defect phase diagrams. The approach combines openBIS with a companion application for large‐object storage, automated metadata extraction, provenance tracking and federated data access, thereby supporting ...
