  1. 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.”

    "Songbird connectome reveals tunneling of migratory neurons in the adult striatum", Shvedov et al. 2026

  6. 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 xxyxxy.com presently.

    Also new: frames!

  7. Songbird connectomics, from my colleague Joergen Kornfeld:
    songbird-connectomics.org/

    Includes the first connectome of basal ganglia.

    Three key papers:

    "The songbird basal ganglia connectome", Rother et al. 2025 (Kornfeld lab)
    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    "An anatomical substrate of credit assignment in reinforcement learning", Kornfeld et al. 2025 (with Michael Fee as senior author)
    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    "Songbird connectome reveals tunnelling of migratory neurons in the adult striatum", Shvedov et al. 2025 (B.B. Scott's lab)
    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

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

    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 :)

  24. I haven't posted for a bit, so here's an #artfight2023 attack I did on Beepers, @udenpah's #ZebraFinch character and all the poser birds who want to be like them.

  25. Oh, my ❤️ !! 😊 🥰 😘

    I've been following Alwyn Wils on the YouTube channel "A Chick Called Albert" for quite a while now. The original "Albert" was a quail he hatched from a supermarket egg. All his videos are worth watching.

    One of the latest is saving and hatching the egg of a zebra finch that was unexpectedly laid in a transport box as he was bringing it to his aviary. It's the tiniest, cutest thing you ever saw.

    Alwyn maintains a rescue/sanctuary in the Netherlands for birds and all kinds of other animals.
