  • Duke professor of neurobiology Richard Mooney and Duke research associate Todd Roberts discuss correlation between songbird learning and human learning

Scientists are learning fascinating things by studying songbirds. Sophisticated microscopes are able to see the smallest level of detail in the brain and determine how it changes in response to learning. Researchers at Duke University are using this technology to study the brains of songbirds and determine what implications their findings could have for humans.
