Bats expand their vocal range by recruiting different laryngeal structures for echolocation and social communication

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
Echolocating bats produce very diverse vocal signals for echolocation and social communication that span an impressive frequency range of 1 to 120 kHz or 7 octaves.

ARHGEF39, a Gene Implicated in Developmental Language Disorder, Activates RHOA and Is Involved in Cell De-Adhesion and Neural Progenitor Cell Proliferation

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
ARHGEF39 was previously implicated in developmental language disorder (DLD) via a functional polymorphism that can disrupt post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs.

VOCAL COMMUNICATION IN GIBBONS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Evolution of Language, 2014
Many non-human primates use vocal communication referentially and also use simple syntax and grammar. However, their comparative vocal repertoires are disappointingly sparse, with many researchers concluding that they have fixed vocal patterns made up of a limited number of discrete units used in a relatively small array of contexts (see McComb ...

The Effect of the Frequency and Energetic Content of Broadband Noise on the Lombard Effect and Speech Intelligibility

open access: yesAcoustics, 2023
The Lombard effect is an unconscious reflex of speakers to increase vocal effort when disturbed by noise, aiming to enhance speech intelligibility. This study aims to evaluate the effect of noise with different energetic content and levels at various ...

Behaviors associated with vocal communication of squirrels

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Vocal communication is an important method squirrels (Sciuridae) use to transfer information from one individual to others. While behaviors associated with vocal communication have been explored in individual species or single call‐types in specific ...

The neurobiology of primate vocal communication [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2014
Recent investigations of non-human primate communication revealed vocal behaviors far more complex than previously appreciated. Understanding the neural basis of these communicative behaviors is important as it has the potential to reveal the basic underpinnings of the still more complex human speech.

Iconicity can ground the creation of vocal symbols [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
Studies of gestural communication systems find that they originate from spontaneously created iconic gestures. Yet, we know little about how people create vocal communication systems, and many have suggested that vocalizations do not afford iconicity ...

Bat vocal sequences enhance contextual information independently of syllable order

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Many animals, humans included, rely on acoustic vocalizations for communication. The complexity of non-human vocal communication has been under debate one of the main open questions being: What could be the function of multi-syllabic vocal ...

The Role of the Vocal Stream in Telepresence Communication [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2016
This paper helps in developing a new telepresence TP that will capture the vocal stream, and allow users to relate to natural behaviours that spontaneously arise during speech. Most of the work in affective computing within telepresence robot platforms adds to current research and knowledge generation as opposed to application.

Mapping of Human FOXP2 Enhancers Reveals Complex Regulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Mutations of the FOXP2 gene cause a severe speech and language disorder, providing a molecular window into the neurobiology of language. Individuals with FOXP2 mutations have structural and functional alterations affecting brain circuits that overlap ...
