to humans, the past several decades have seen a surge in nonhuman animal studies that …

Hearing is often viewed as a passive process: Sound enters the ear, triggers a cascade of
activity through the auditory system, and culminates in an auditory percept. In contrast to a …

Vocalizations play an important role in the daily life of primates and likely form the basis of
human language. Functional imaging studies have demonstrated that listening to voices …

Marmosets are becoming more utilized in biomedical research due to multiple advantages
including (1) a nonhuman primate of a smaller size with less cost for housing,(2) physiologic …

Humans and other primates are equipped with neural mechanisms that allow them to
automatically make predictions about future events, facilitating processing of expected …

Auditory modulation during speech movement planning is limited in adults who stutter
(AWS), but the functional relevance of the phenomenon itself remains unknown. We …

Purpose We review and interpret our recent series of studies investigating motor-to-auditory
influences during speech movement planning in fluent speakers and speakers who stutter …

Vocal communication is a sensory-motor process requiring auditory self-monitoring to
correct errors and to ensure accurate vocal production. When presented with altered speech …

Highlights•The responses of neurons in the auditory cortex (AC) to complex sounds cannot
be predicted based on their responses to tones.•AC tone-evoked responses are shaped by …

Sensory-motor interactions in the auditory system play an important role in vocal self-
monitoring and control. These result from top-down corollary discharges, relaying …
