Research project funded by NINDS to study neural mechanisms of vocal communication in mammals using rodent models, with a focus on motor cortex and behavioral flexibility.
Description
The project focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying flexible vocal communication in mammals, using rodent models such as singing mice. The research involves electrophysiology, connectomics, and circuit manipulation. The goal is to elucidate how motor cortex modulates behavioral flexibility for social communication.
