Family identity is represented within vocal categories by the gerbil auditory cortex https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.24.684438v1

Super excited to share the first part of my thesis work! Perhaps how you might be able to both recognize someone’s voice *and* understand what they’re saying, we find that both social identity and vocalization category can be decoded from gerbil auditory cortex activity👂🧠 tinyurl.com/4fba6wk4

What do neuroscience labs and the streets of New York City have in common? They are both commonly home to rats, a feature this research team is leveraging to study rat social cognition in the wild. By @martajhill.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/social-cogni...

Great news: NIH postbac program is recruiting again! If your grad school plans were affected by program cutbacks or admissions freezes this year I highly encourage you to apply, this could be a perfect opportunity. Please repost. www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...

Happy holidays, happy new year, happy to reintroduce our gerbil vocal dialect paper! Final version now available in eLife elifesciences.org/articles/89892

Hi 🔵☁️! My name is Ralph - I am working on my PhD in neuroscience at NYU where I research auditory processing and vocal communication. I’m generally interested in how the brain controls behavior, perception, and understanding neural function in natural contexts (e.g. social interactions, in the wild)
