I will discuss recent advances from our lab highlighting the neural mechanisms that enable birdsong learning\, including basal ganglia-dependent vocal exploration and reinforcement. How the learned song is integrated with innate vocalizations will also be considered\, with reference to recent studies that genetically map neural circuits for innate vocalizations in mice. \n  URL:https://www.centreforbrainhealth.ca/events/dr-richard-mooney/ LOCATION:Rudy North Lecture Theatre\, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health\, 2215 Wesbrook Mall\, Vancouver\, British Columbia\, V6T 1Z3\, Canada CATEGORIES:Neuroscience Research Colloquium END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
