Singing mice made their concert debut! The Secret Lives of Rodent Divas, a 4 movement piece by Kathryn Mishell, was recently performed in Austin, TX. I was happy to contribute some songs. Kathryn kindly shared the concert video. Please take a listen ♬

My latest Aronov lab paper is now published @Nature!

When a chickadee looks at a distant location, the same place cells activate as if it were actually there 👁️

The hippocampus encodes where the bird is looking, AND what it expects to see next -- enabling spatial reasoning from afar

thank you Steve!

Now as a PhD student in the Long and Buzsáki labs at NYU, I’m studying how the brain supports these fascinating vocal interactions in singing mice. Looking forward to sharing more in the future—stay tuned!

Huge thanks to my (pre-)PhD advisor Mike for his mentorship. Also grateful to Steve @evolbrain.bsky.social and Arka @arkarupbanerjee.bsky.social for their thoughtful feedback. Please check out the foundational works from their labs. There’s so much more to discover about singing mice and the brain!

My pre-PhD work is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We studied Alston’s singing mice, a Central American rodent that produces loud, human-audible 'songs' and engages in vocal turn-taking. Using thermal imaging in semi-natural arena, we probed song use in different social contexts.

So much for our objective editorial voice 🗣️

Anyways check out this sick mice pape

Advertisement vocalizations support home-range defense in the singing mouse Fujishima and Long combine sound analysis with thermal imaging and position tracking in a semi-natural environment to demonstrate that singing mice (S. teguina) produce identifiable advertisement call...

Why do (Alston's singing) mice sing? 🎤🐀

Unclear but previous work points to male-male interactions

To study this further
@yukifujishima.bsky.social & Mike Long developed a semi-natural terrarium

I wrote a blog post on canonical correlation analysis (CCA), where I attempt to explain how it works, how it relates conceptually to other methods, and how it can be applied in neuroscience research. I’d appreciate any feedback!
