My dissertation focuses on how the brain encodes a learned motor sequence. I look at the encoding of birdsong in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) to understand the mechanisms that underlie motor encoding. Juvenile zebra finches...
In this Dissertation, I report parallel processing in the avian vocal premotor nucleus HVC. First, I review historical ideas and recent evidence about the function of HVC. HVC has historically been viewed as a distributed network, and it...
There is a well-documented sexual dimorphism in the neural control of food intake and body weight regulation. Estradiol is a leading candidate as a potential biological factor contributing to these sex differences due to its robust...
Birdsong is a model system for the production of learned, serially ordered motor movements, such as playing a musical instrument or riding a bicycle. To this end, the neural mechanisms underlying birdsong have been studied in great depth...
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the commonest of adult epilepsies, often refractory to antiepileptic medications, whose prevention and treatment rely on understanding basic pathophysiological mechanisms in interlinked structures of the...
