What Is the Role of Thalamostriatal Circuits in Learning Vocal Sequences?
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 Basal ganglia (BG) circuits integrate sensory and motor-related information from the cortex, thalamus, and midbrain to guide learning and production of motor sequences. Birdsong, like speech, is comprised of precisely sequenced vocal elements.

Syllable timing as a function of position-in-utterance in infant babbling [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1976 For several years now it has been known that a number of languages show regular variations of syllable duration as a function of position-in-utterance. The most striking finding has been that final syllable vowels (in English, for instance) are up to 125 msec longer than comparable nonfinal syllable vowels.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Emerging evidence suggests that low‐frequency neural oscillations are dynamically regulated by consciousness levels, with the recovery of low cortical activity potentially serving as a neurophysiological substrate for conscious emergence. Targeted enhancement of these low‐frequency rhythms in patients with disorders of consciousness
