The lab will be co-funded by both @Hunter_College and @RockefellerUniv , and we will work to make it function as the first official bridge between the two universities. Thank you everyone who supported me in this transition, you know who you are. 🤎

🔥 NEW STUDY OUT 🔥 It's great to see this study I first co-authored with @yasuko_tobari come out in Genes, Brain and Behavior ( @Genes2B ). We looked at #oxytocin gene sequence and brain expression in Bengalese finches and white rumped munias. (1/13)🧵

Next to the coyotes at the @AMNH there is a beautiful vocal learner, Anna's hummingbird. Thanks to efforts from the @genomeark , we now have a brand new high quality genome of this species. @ofedrigo @erichjarvis @SadyePaez

Our new allostatic theory of oxytocin is online, led by @dsquintana in @TrendsCognSci . This paper explores how the oxytocin network has evolved over time, development and species to influence survival and behaviour in humans, with therapeutic implications

Estrogen and sex-dependent loss of the vocal learning system in female zebra finches

Sex hormones alter the organization of the brain during early development and coordinate various behaviors throughout life. In zebra finches, song learning is limited to males, and the associated...

I will be #livetweeting from the #birdsongmeeting2019 ! Yesterday, welcoming event at the beautiful Millbrook winery where a surprise debate session took place (organised by me 🙈). The topic was: Vocal learning is a binary trait, you either have it or not.
