  1. "…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."

  2. 🐭🎶 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.
