Daniel Margoliash
Professor
Welcome to our lab web page. I was trained by Mark Konishi during my graduate studies at Caltech and by Nobuo Suga during my postdoctoral studies at Washington University. In our work we try to maintain the neuroethological perspective that their work has so elegantly embodied. dan@
Graduate Students

Andrew Savoy
Graduate Student
I am an Integrative Neuroscience student, interested in the neurobiological mechanisms of valuation, especially regarding species-typical preferences and the development of individual differences.

Graham Fetterman
Graduate Student
I am a Seventh-year Neurobiology student. I am interested in the role of sensory feedback in modulating ongoing motor production.

Nelson Medina
Graduate Student
I am a fourth year student in neurobiology, interested in the fundamental cellular mechanisms underlying learning and memory.

Daniel D Baleckaitis
Laboratory Manager
I’ve been with the lab for more than 22 years and my responsibilities include training people, Histology, building stuffs, troubleshooting and helping to maintain the lab. I have an unique skill-set and try to combine my interests into everyday work e.g. watchmaking, brewing beer (See What I’m Brewing), woodworking and photography.

We consider how one can determine the structure of complex nonlinear systems. Using ideas from nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics, we have developed exact integral representations of the way model systems behave when information from experimental and field measurements from the system they model are presented to them. This representation, in practical use with approximations designed for the biophysical or physical system at hand, allows accurate estimates of the state and parameters of the model. This allows the model, a dynamical rule for predicting future behavior of the system, to be used for forecasting.

Slice experiments are done on individual neurons in these nuclei, and their electrophysiological properties are inferred from short time series. These become the ingredients for the larger circuits comprising the song production pathway.
