Harnessing vocal patterns for social communication

Highlights • A hindbrain and spinal cord ‘toolkit’ for rhythmic vocalization, respiration and locomotion. • Neurons express the same transcription factors and neurotransmitter-related genes from fish to mouse. • Sites of action for hormones and modulators can be distinguished using fictive behaviors...

Description
Summary:Highlights • A hindbrain and spinal cord ‘toolkit’ for rhythmic vocalization, respiration and locomotion. • Neurons express the same transcription factors and neurotransmitter-related genes from fish to mouse. • Sites of action for hormones and modulators can be distinguished using fictive behaviors. • The ancient social decision making neural network (SDN) participates in vocal communication. • Molecular underpinnings for the SDN include conserved hormone and neuromodulator receptors.
