Understanding the neural underpinnings of vocal–motor control in humans and other
animals remains a major challenge in neurobiology. The Lombard effect–a rise in call …

To understand the primate origins of the human interaction engine, it is worthwhile to focus
not only on great apes but also on callitrichid monkeys (marmosets and tamarins). Like …

For over half a century now, primate vocalizations have been thought to undergo little or no
experience-dependent acoustic changes during development [1]. If any changes are …

Vocalization is an ancient vertebrate trait essential to many forms of communication, ranging
from courtship calls to free verse. Vocalizations may be entirely innate and evoked by sexual …

The vocal behavior of human infants undergoes marked changes across their first year while
becoming increasingly speech-like. Conversely, vocal development in nonhuman primates …

Humans, dolphins, and elephants are the only known species that vocally label their
conspecifics. It remains unclear whether nonhuman primates share this ability. We recorded …

Vocal production is hierarchical in the time domain. These hierarchies build upon
biomechanical and neural dynamics across various timescales. We review studies in …

Devising new and more efficient protocols to analyze the phenotypes of non-human
primates, as well as their complex nervous systems, is rapidly becoming of paramount …

In humans, individuals' social setting determines which and how language is acquired.
Social seclusion experiments show that sociality also guides vocal development in …

House mice, like many tetrapods, produce multielement calls consisting of individual
vocalizations repeated in rhythmic series. In this study, we examine the multielement …
