The evolutionary biology of dance without frills [PDF]
, 2016 Recently psychologists have taken up the question of whether dance is reliant on unique human adaptations, or whether it is rooted in neural and cognitive mechanisms shared with other species 1, 2. In its full cultural complexity, human dance clearly has

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.
