💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐦🔬 Dr. Julie Elie at UC #Berkeley won the 2026 Coller-Dolittle prize and $100,000 for decoding the 11 core calls of zebra #finches after more than a decade of observation and #machinelearning analysis.

She confirmed that finches understand the meaning of their own vocalizations by letting #birds tap buttons to select calls. Her work is a step toward two way human animal #communication backed by #AI driven #research.

Why the lack of neurogenesis in adults may be an evolved positive trait in mammals. In song birds:

“... as the new neurons move through the brain, they seem to be pushing or deforming the tissue,” Scott says. “You could imagine that they might be altering the circuit, breaking connections that are the basis of stored memories.”

A decade ago, Danielle and I kept an aviary of finches. Our favorites were the Zebra's for their honking vocalizations and sweet personalities.

I've decided to paint some of the old birds, so keep an eye out! This lady is hanging out at https://xxyxxy.com presently.

Also new: frames!

Songbird connectomics, from my colleague Joergen Kornfeld:

Includes the first connectome of basal ganglia.

Three key papers:

"The songbird basal ganglia connectome", Rother et al. 2025 (Kornfeld lab)

"An anatomical substrate of credit assignment in reinforcement learning", Kornfeld et al. 2025 (with Michael Fee as senior author)
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.18.954354v2

"Songbird connectome reveals tunnelling of migratory neurons in the adult striatum", Shvedov et al. 2025 (B.B. Scott's lab)

This is probably my last #ArtFight2024 attack on @udenpah's characters Rhagik and Beepers (https://artfight.net/character/1865735.rhagik).

It's been a fun ArtFight, and I managed to do more attacks than the past two years combined! Plus, I got some really brilliant art for my own characters. I'm leaving the month feelin' pretty dang good :)

Heard a kestrel cry outside my apartment for the first time since moving here! Naturally the boys had a little panic. No breakfast video today. #ZebraFinch #GouldianFinch #BirdsOfMastodon

They dont want to be his friend. Too many colour?

Peeps started helping with lights but decided to sing a carol instead.
