#vocalization — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦧😂 University of #Warwick researchers recorded #laughter from #orangutans, #gorillas, #chimpanzees, #bonobos, and #humans, finding the same evenly spaced #rhythm across all six species.

The #structure traces back to a common ancestor 15 million years ago and has remained unchanged. Human laughter has evolved faster and more context dependent, possibly a building block for #speech.

"…Furthermore, the results facilitate mechanistic investigations of enhanced cortical control over vocalizations — a crucial preadaptation for human #language. This approach of comparing recently diverged species with substantial #behavioral divergences can be readily generalized across other model clades to discover quantitative rules of neural circuit #evolution."

🐭🎶 New paper by Isko et al, who study #Alston’s singing mouse, a rodent with loud, stereotyped songs.

Using bulk tracing, serial #2P #tomography, & #MAPseq of >76,000 barcoded neurons, they find expanded projections from #orofacial #MotorCortex to #auditory #cortex & #PAG. This suggests that singing / #Vocalization may emerge not from entirely new circuits, but from selective strengthening of existing motor, auditory & vocal-control pathways.

Lapp et al. used autonomous underwater audio recorders and machine learning to study the underwater vocal behavior of the endangered species Rana sierrae. They documented new vocalization types and discovered nocturnal vocal activity. Read here now! https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/729422

How the #brain coordinates speaking and breathing
MIT neuroscientists have discovered a circuit that controls #vocalization and makes sure that #breathing is prioritized over #speaking.

#science #neuroscience does that apply to #flute playing too? Might have to read the paper to find out.

Orangutans can change their voices when exposed to smoke from wildfires. Researchers found that the endangered primates produced lower-pitched calls after breathing in polluted air for months. This could affect their communication and social interactions with other orangutans in the forest. #orangutans #wildfires #vocalization https://theconversation.com/to-see-how-smoke-affects-endangered-orangutans-we-studied-their-voices-during-and-after-massive-indonesian-wildfires-208153?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

The mysterious song of the dinosaurs - BBC Future

"...Her work has led her to a revelation that will shake the ground from under the feet of five-year-olds and movie goers around the world. Dinosaurs almost certainly didn't roar. They probably cooed instead."
