Very excited about this landmark study led by Drew Schreiner @schreinerdrew along with DIBS faculty network members John Pearson and Rich Mooney!

Opto & chemogenetic exploration of birdsong circuits guided by a computational framework. 🤩 Congratulations!

[Drew Schreiner @SchreinerDrew]

Where, exactly, does learning happen in the brain?

Out now @Nature , we identify a synaptic locus of birdsong learning and show that the circuit can be tuned to make birds learn faster, but at a cost.🧵 #neuroscience
