Learning and execution of complex motor skills are often modulated by sensory feedback
and contextual cues arriving across multiple sensory modalities. Vocal motor behaviors, in …

Social interactions promote vocal learning, but the impact of social feedback on this process
and its neural circuitry is not well understood. We studied song imitation in juvenile male …

Parent-offspring interactions are essential to interpret animal social evolution and behavior,
but their role in mediating acoustic communication in animals that interact vocally is still …

Inhibitory interneurons are highly heterogeneous circuit elements often characterized by cell
biological properties, but how these factors relate to specific roles underlying complex …

In the last 20 years, research on turn-taking and duetting has flourished in at least three,
historically separate disciplines: animal behavior, language sciences, and music cognition …

Language is one of the most prominent examples of vocal learning. Understanding the
written words of this paragraph requires the acquired skill of language. This process begins …

GABAergic interneurons enrich the computational power of neural circuits, with different
subpopulations often proposed to play distinct roles within a network. In the mammalian …
