Yoko Yazaki-Sugiyama

Both songbirds and scientists learn to communicate through social interaction during development. Yoko Yazaki-Sugiyama has been investigating cell, circuit and systems mechanisms of innate songbird learning from auditory experience, including how birds detect own species song, learn intensively with vocal communication, and learn exclusively during developmental critical periods. She draws parallels to her communication skills learned by listening to others during her development as a scientist.
