Stephanie White

Stephanie White's research focuses on synaptic plasticity and song learning in the Zebra Finch. They are interested on how learned behaviors shape gene expression patterns. The laboratory is studying how genes, such as FoxP2, that affect language in humans regulate song learning in birds.
