Leslie Phillmore is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University. Her research focuses on the complex behaviors of songbirds, particularly aspects of learning and memory related to song learning, perception, and neuroplasticity. Phillmore's studies investigate how environmental factors influence neurogenesis and how stress impacts song learning and brain development in zebra finches, providing insights into the relationship between perception and song production. Additionally, her work examines the neural mechanisms underlying these processes, contributing to a deeper understanding of behavior in avian species.
