This study identifies diverse ultrasonic vocalizations in rats beyond the traditional high-short/low-long dichotomy, highlighting the need for broader research into complex affective states.

The paper shows that intense morning singing in zebra finches is a rebound from pre-dawn singing suppression, driven by hormonal arousal and light changes.

This study investigates how neural entrainment relates to anticipatory processing of musical meter using EEG and dual-meter sound stimuli, finding that entrainment to attended features predicts P300 responses to metrical violations.

The paper shows that consistent spectral cues improve perceptual accuracy in distinguishing subdivided rhythmic patterns, highlighting the role of spectral properties in rhythm perception.

Advanced paternal age affects vocal development in early postnatal mice, with more pups showing atypical developmental trajectories.

The paper introduces a viral tool for fast retrograde labeling of projection neurons in songbirds and mice, enabling detailed analysis of vocal learning circuits.

The paper shows that spontaneous motor variability in vocal pitch predicts adaptive compensation for auditory feedback shifts in humans.

The paper identifies neuronal populations in songbirds that transition from preparatory activity to precise sequences during singing, revealing mechanisms for behavioral state transitions.

The paper reviews manipulations in zebra finch research and assesses their impact on animal welfare, identifying singing rate as a potential welfare indicator.
