Beyond Broca: neural architecture and evolution of a dual motor speech coordination system
Classical neural architecture models of speech production propose a single system centred
on Broca's area coordinating all the vocal articulators from lips to larynx. Modern evidence …

The relevance of the unique anatomy of the human prefrontal operculum to the emergence of speech
Identifying the evolutionary origins of human speech remains a topic of intense scientific
interest. Here we describe a unique feature of adult human neuroanatomy compared to …

Socially meaningful visual context either enhances or inhibits vocalisation processing in the macaque brain
Social interactions rely on the interpretation of semantic and emotional information, often
from multiple sensory modalities. Nonhuman primates send and receive auditory and visual …

Inter-subject similarity of brain activity in expert musicians after multimodal learning: a behavioral and neuroimaging study on learning to play a piano sonata
Human behavior is inherently multimodal and relies on sensorimotor integration. This is
evident when pianists exhibit activity in motor and premotor cortices, as part of a dorsal …
