Rod’srecentresearchhasfocusedonthephysiologyofsongproductioninsongbirdsandparrots.Thesetwogroupsofbirds,togetherwithhumans,arealmostuniqueamong animals in having a complex vocal communication in which learning plays an important role. The exceptional vocal abilities of these birds enable investigation of basic problems related to the development and neural control of behavior. Some of these issues include the development and coordination of the diverse motor patterns during vocal learning; the role of vocal practice, analogous to human infant babbling; and of critical developmental periods in song learning.
