Michael A. Long, Thomas and Susanne Murphy Associate Professor, Neuroscience Institute, NYU School of Medicine, will talk about "Neural mechanisms of vocal communication."

Vocal communication is central to our everyday lives, facilitating social exchange. Despite significant recent discoveries, the neural mechanisms underlying coordinated vocal exchanges remain poorly understood. Researchers examine the brain processes involved in interactive vocal behaviors, focusing on forebrain circuitry in the songbird and the rodent, and they relate these to emerging human studies that employ a range of methods to manipulate and monitor cortical areas relevant for speech.
