This paper develops a low-cost, mountable microphone system to identify individual mouse ultrasonic vocalizations during social interactions, achieving 90% accuracy using amplitude differences.

This study shows that reducing PLXNA1 in mouse motor cortex layer 5 neurons increases projections to vocal motor neurons and expands vocal abilities.

This study shows that the primary motor cortex in mice influences laryngeal and jaw muscles through direct and indirect projections, supporting the continuum hypothesis of vocal learning.

The paper tracks neuronal adaptation in macaque visual cortex over weeks of exposure to novel faces, finding cell-specific time constants governed by testing days, not stimulus exposures.

The paper identifies parallel functional subnetworks of face-selective neurons in macaques during natural video viewing.

The paper shows that delayed suppression in primate face patches enhances sensitivity to facial identity features through predictive normalization.
