Automated, Stress-Free, and Precise Measurement of Songbird Weight in Neuroscience Experiments

This paper introduces an automated system for continuously monitoring songbird weight without disrupting behavior, revealing physiological patterns and validating its sensitivity for long-term studies.

Canary Mating Season Songs Move Between Order and Disorder

This study examines how canary songs change syntactically and acoustically during the mating season, revealing non-random trends in order and disorder across individuals.

Large-scale cellular-resolution imaging of neural activity in freely behaving mice

This paper introduces a novel miniaturized mesoscope for cellular-resolution imaging of neural activity in freely behaving mice, enabling comprehensive visualization across brain regions.

A novel approach to the empirical characterization of learning in biological systems

The paper introduces a method to characterize learning dynamics in motor control by applying perturbations and analyzing responses to estimate internal dynamics and noise.

Hidden neural states underlie canary song syntax

The paper identifies neurons in canary HVC that encode past song transitions over multiple phrases and seconds, revealing neural mechanisms for syntactic song structure.

A geometric representation unveils learning dynamics in primate neurons

The paper tracks neural dynamics during learning in primate brain regions using a geometric framework, revealing differential roles of dACC and striatum in behavior adaptation.
