This is a review of our current knowledge about the role of the periaqueductal grey (PAG) in
vocal control. It shows that electrical stimulation of the PAG can evoke species-specific calls …

In this chapter, the current knowledge about the role of the midbrain periaqueductal gray
(PAG) in the expression of vocalization is reviewed. Electrical and pharmacological …

THE effects of a pharmacological blockade of the periaqueductal grey of the midbrain (PAG)
on the elicitability of vocal fold movements from the facial motor cortex on the one hand and …

In seven freely moving squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), the neuronal activity in the
periaqueductal gray (PAG) and bordering structures was registered during vocal …

Experiments were performed on one Macaca fascicularis and three Macaca mulatto
monkeys. Electrical stimulation of the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) elicited phonation …

The midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) of most higher animals has been shown by
stimulation and lesion methods to be important in vocalization. In order to learn how the PAG …

In 32 squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) the role of the periaqueductal grey has been
investigated by combined stimulation/lesioning and by neuroanatomical experiments. The …

SEVERAL neurophysiological studies have highlighted the role of the midbrain
periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) in the initiation of vocalization in various animal species …

Vocalizations such as mews and cries in cats or crying and laughter in humans are
examples of expression of emotions. These vocalizations are generated by the emotional …

Previous research has shown that a region of the midbrain, the periaqueductal gray matter
(PAG), is critical for vocalization. In this review, we describe the results of previous …
