This encoding and integration process is very likely to be disrupted in people with disordered speech and we can begin to understand this by studying the songbird brain." /> Sarah Bottjer of neurobiology and psychology and her team are the first to locate the neural circuit in the songbird brain that encodes a representation of learned vocal sounds.]]></description>
