Working with The Max Plank Institute for Biological Intelligence, @LabVallentin, we retrieved an accelerometer we deployed on a Nightingale on 9/1/2025. This valuable data allows us to research Nightingales singing patterns in their wintering territory. – at Gambia

~30 years of research in non-behaving animals argue that bilateral touch integration likely occurs downstream of primary somatosensory cortex. We reveal the state- and task-dependent logic that unlocks communication between S1s through the corpus callosum. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. @NatureNeuro: rdcu.be/ehEgz Cool morphing expts+more in final version 🧵👇

In an exciting new direction for the lab, we (circuits.jhu.edu) teamed up with Cindy Moss (batlab.johnshopkins.edu/) and Mel Wohlgemuth (arizonabatlab.com/) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)

Underestimated females: A new study by @LabVallentin reveals the influence of females on song learning in zebra finches. Vocal feedback from females can activate a neural circuit in the brain of young males while they are learning their song, increasing its accuracy.
