Singing in the bird brain

Article Abstract:

Fernando Nottebohm has made innovative discoveries regarding the neural basis of vocal learning in songbirds. He was the first researcher to uncover large anatomic sex differences in a vertebrate brain, the first to map the neural circuits used to learn and produce birdsong and the first to present evidence for neurogenesis and neuronal replacement in the adult brain.

Physics meets the brain

Article Abstract:

Terry Sejnowski went from a graduate student in theoretical physics to become computational neuroscience's White Knight. Sejnowski is the power behind numerous meetings and workshops, including the computational neuroscience workshop that he launched in Wood Hole, the Helmholtz Club at UC, Irvine, and the neural information processing systems (NIPS) conference.

Sweet music

Article Abstract:

Ajit Varki, professor of medicine and cellular and molecular medicine at the University of California, San Diego, went to the US for research and also as it was regarded as a perfect spot for physician-scientists looking to perform cutting-edge research. His research in the field of glycobiology and carbohydrates is discussed.
