summaryThis two day workshop will present new advances in research areas aiming at uncovering the neural mechanisms involved in vocal learning in songbirds, from cellular physiology and genetics to behavior. It will be divided into three sessions reflecting the three phases of vocal learning: (i) sensory learning: representation and memorization of the song template(s) (ii) motor learning: genes, synapses and neurons involved in the modification of the vocal output (iii) vocal production: complexity of the song control system, from spikes to notes.
