Erich Jarvis, one of the most distinguished experts on the genetics of vocal learning, will give a talk entitled "Evolution of Brain Systems for Vocal Learning" on June 27, 8:00PM in the Lillie Auditorium, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, Massachusetts, U.S.
Abstract: Vocal learning is a critical behavioral substrate for spoken human language. It is a rare trait found in three distantly related groups of birds—songbirds, hummingbirds, and parrots. These avian groups have remarkably similar systems of cerebral vocal nuclei for the control of learned vocalizations that are not found in their more closely related vocal non-learning relatives, and that share some similarities to brain pathways for spoken language in humans. These findings led to the hypothesis that brain pathways for vocal learning in different groups evolved independently from a common ancestor but under pre-existing constraints. We believe we have discovered the constraint, a pre-existing motor pathway. We found that all cerebral vocal learning nuclei in vocal learning birds are adjacent to discrete brain areas active for limb and body movements. These motor areas are connected in a network in parallel with the adjacent vocal learning system, but one that controls limb and body movements. These motor areas are also present in vocal non-learning animals. Based upon our findings, we propose a motor theory for the origin of vocal learning, this being that brain areas specialized for vocal learning in vocal learners evolved as a specialization of a pre-existing motor pathway that controls movement.

Scottish Agricultural Science Agency, Edinburgh, 2nd July 2008
This one-day workshop is organised by the BSPP, under the auspices of the International Year of the Potato (www.potato2008.org), with sponsorship from Potato Council (formerly the British Potato Council (www.potato.org.uk). The workshop is designed to give an overview of current disease constraints on potato production and to provide post-graduates and recent post-docs with an opportunity to present either brief oral or poster presentations. A prize will be awarded by Potato Council. for the best oral presentation. Weather permitting, delegates will be able to visit the potato training plots at SASA's Gogarbank Farm. The plots are used for The Scottish Seed Potato Growing Crop Inspection Course which takes place annually during the last 2 weeks of June and is designed to train inspectors in the recognition of the 30 most common potato varieties, genetic variants, and virus and bacterial diseases (www.sasa.gov.uk/training/potatoes.cfm).

The American Society for Virology (ASV) invites you to attend the 27th Annual Meeting of the Society, to be held on the campus of Cornell University from July 12-16, 2008.
The American Society for Virology was founded in 1981 to provide a forum for investigators of human, animal, insect, plant, fungal and bacterial viruses, whether the research involves the use of clinical, ecological, biological or biochemical approaches. The Society sponsors an annual meeting, designed to promote discussion and collaboration among scientists active in all aspects of virology. Cornell University has a long history with ASV, hosting the first meeting in 1982. Since then, the meeting has taken place at Cornell on three occasions.
