 </span></p><p><span data-teams="true">Michael Long is the Thomas and Susann
 e Murphy Professor of Neuroscience and Vice Chair for Education in the Depa
 rtment of Neuroscience and Physiology at the NYU School of Medicine. He com
 pleted his graduate studies with Barry Connors at Brown University where he
  investigated the role of electrical synapses in the mammalian brain. Durin
 g his postdoctoral work with Michale Fee at MIT\, Long began to study the s
 ongbird model system to uncover the cellular and network properties that gi
 ve rise to learned vocal sequences. Since beginning his laboratory in 2010\
 , Long has focused his attention on the neural circuits underlying skilled 
 movements\, often in the service of vocal interactions. To accomplish this\
 , the Long lab has taken a comparative approach\, examining relevant mechan
 isms in the songbird\, the parrot\, a singing neotropical rodent\, and huma
 ns. In addition to federal funding\, the Long lab has also received support
  from NYSCF\, the Rita Allen Foundation\, the Klingenstein Foundation\, and
  the Herschel-Weill Foundation.</span></p>
