| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our brain is extensively vulnerable in early developmental period, and experiences of interacting with others in our early life impact on the development of social behaviors. Our research unit has been elucidating how our brain circuits are shaped for developing vocal communication skills during development by using a songbird modeling which learn to sing as human babies learn to speak. We have identified the neuronal circuits for detecting social information and forming tutor song memories by social communication. We will further work on to elucidate brain mechanisms for understanding why experiences in early life and real, not artificial, social interaction have impactful. We also will try to understand the biological/neuronal mechanism mediating effect of social interaction with others and long-lasting effect on social behaviors. Our results might be applied to treatments for developmental disorders or help to develop language learnings.
