Thrilled to share that our new paper is now live in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

Mating songs of Galápagos finches from a set of possible futures, played to territorial males, reveal links between adaptation and speciation.
Check out our new study—led by Dr. Jeff Podos @UMassAmherst—in @sciencemagazine! ⬇️
Summary 🧵below!

Early auditory and adult mating experiences interact with singer identity to shape neural responses to song in female zebra finches biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci

It's finally published! Working with @jordanmckinneyy @jmbutler18 @bcgoolsby @alaurenoconnell and other lovely Twitter-less scientists at @LOB_SU for my undergrad thesis on FoxP2 in social 🐸 tadpoles was such a joy. So happy this work is out in the world!

Really excited to share the latest preprint from my lab @CSHL. Work done by @IskoEmily, a fantastic graduate student, in collaboration with @TonyZador.
So what is this paper about?

Song "type" learning is happening in the auditory system at very young ages. Before the song sensitive period even opens! Proud of this work led by @katieschro8 .
New from @katieschro8 @HealeyLab in @J_Exp_Biol, report that in zebra finches, brain cells in forebrain auditory areas are already selectively tuned to conspecific song before the sensitive period
Nice use of cross fostering w/Bengalese finches

ALT Box and whisker plots with raw data points on top comparing baseline firing rates in two forebrain areas, Field L and NCM, across three groups, normal, cross fostered, and isolate. Firing rates are lowest in normal group

The latest from the lab is out now in @CurrentBiology! Led by the amazing @BrandonFricker, with help from @muruganmalu, we identified a neural circuit that facilitates affiliative peer-group preferences in spiny mice. @EmoryUniversity

Out now in @CurrentBiology, our new paper identifies an olfactory receptor that mediates male attraction to females, but enforces avoidance of parental care. A thread that leads to an unexpected twist in regulation of social behavior! cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Tiny D. cerebrum produce super-loud clicks and now Antonia Groneberg @benjulab & co reveal how the cartilage hammers that hit the swim bladder develop. In addition, even 6-week-old fish click at full speed; they don't need to practice

ALT A photo of a transparent male Danionella cerebrum showing the swim bladders (silver structures in the middle of the body) that produce the clicks when the hammers impact then and the muscles (yellow), around the top of the front swim bladder, that drive the hammer impacts.

Super excited to share my postdoc work investigating how mating and parental behaviors evolve using wild species of mice combined with single nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamus 🐭🧠🧬!

I just learned that Harvey Karten passed away.
As a PhD student writer for @NeuWriteSD, I had the honor of interviewing him in 2015. His candor & passion left a huge impact on me -- even as an emeritus professor, he was still obsessed with brains.

Super cool working going on in @LOB_SU with @whisperina (in vivo imaging + mol bio techniques) to understand parent-offspring interactions! Send your talented undergrads their way.
@LOB_SU is hiring a technician to join me in the adventure of understanding poison frog tadpole brains!! ✨🧠🐸 JOIN US!! Or send to someone who can!! Please and thank you!!🥳

Our paper, Crows ‘count’ the number of self-generated vocalizations, is out! With this amazing team (@KatharinaBrecht, @lena_veit, A_Nieder), we uncovered that crows are able to control the number of vocalizations produced.

Thrilled to share a *NEW PRE-PRINT* I’ve been working on for the last few years! @IDsignals, W. Freiwald, and I describe the neural correlates of individual facial recognition in a social wasp, Polistes fuscatus.
