Neuroscientists have uncovered new insights into a key evolutionary question: Why can humans talk when most animals can't?

Temporal patterning is an essential feature of neural networks producing precisely timed behaviours such as vocalizations that are widely used in vertebrate social communication. Here we show that ...

There have been a few really fascinating studies of vocalization in cattle over the years; they are social herd animals who need to communicate with each other, and they prefer to do so vocally. New ...

Researchers discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in. This circuit is under control of a brainstem ...

PREVIOUS work 1 has shown that if subjects performed increasing degrees of vocalization on a visually presented list of 8 consonants, recall of that list improved monotonically as vocalization level ...

Girls have long been thought to have a language advantage over boys as infants. But new research finds that boys make more vocalization sounds than girls do in the early months of life. These squeals, ...

MIT researchers have discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in. The newly discovered circuit ...

A new study has focused on how babies start speaking, and how 9 to 13-month-old babies tackle the shift from early babbling to the use of combinations of gestures and speech. Asier Romero-Andonegi, ...
