This federal Project Grant award, ID R01DC022604, is provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The $430,605 grant aims to support research investigating how songbirds' brains form auditory memories used to guide their vocal learning and production. The research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will explore the neural mechanisms underlying songbirds' ability to precisely imitate the songs of their tutors, with the goal of developing a mechanistic model for how the brain stores and recalls such auditory memories. Specifically, the project will examine the role of the premotor brain region HVC in forming a temporally precise memory of the tutor song and recalling that memory to guide the bird's own vocal production during learning. The research may provide insights into human speech and language acquisition. The award has an effective date of May 1, 2025 and is expected to conclude by April 30, 2030.
