Nottebohm was born in Argentina and received his PhD in zoology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1966 while working with Peter Marler.[1] Afterwards, he conducted extensive investigations of the song of the rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis).
Nottebohm is best known for his work on neurogenesis in the adult vertebrate brain,[6] a phenomenon that previously had been thought impossible by most scientists.[citation needed]
