The paper shows that intonation in mouse vocalizations is controlled by breath patterns generated by the iRO brainstem circuit, revealing a novel mechanism for pitch control.

This paper shows that β2-Arrestin germline knockout does not reduce opioid-induced respiratory depression in mice, challenging the biased agonist hypothesis.

The paper identifies a brainstem oscillator in neonatal mice that coordinates crying with breathing by structuring rhythmically-timed vocalizations.
