The paper compares brain development and vocal learning strategies in humans, marmosets, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques, finding that faster brain growth at birth in humans and marmosets supports socially guided vocal learning.

This study shows marmoset monkeys use active sampling in vocal interactions to gain information about their social environment, outperforming a vocal accommodation model.

The paper investigates how the brain coordinates motor behaviors with internal states, finding that brain activity drives movements and heart rate more than vice versa.

This study tracks prenatal development of orofacial movements in marmoset monkeys, showing that vocalization-related patterns emerge before birth.

This study shows that increased arousal leads to stable oscillations in marmoset vocal output, explaining the transition from irregular to regular vocal patterns during development.

The paper identifies a social-vocal brain network in marmoset monkeys that distinguishes social contexts and modulates vocalizations.
