Brain mechanisms of acoustic communication in humans and nonhuman primates: An evolutionary perspective
Any account of “what is special about the human brain”(Passingham 2008) must specify the
neural basis of our unique ability to produce speech and delineate how these remarkable …

Peripheral mechanisms for vocal production in birds–differences and similarities to human speech and singing
T Riede, F Goller - Brain and language, 2010 - Elsevier
Song production in songbirds is a model system for studying learned vocal behavior. As in
humans, bird phonation involves three main motor systems (respiration, vocal organ and …

Increases in cognitive and linguistic processing primarily account for increases in speaking rate with age
Age‐related increases of speaking rate are not fully understood, but have been attributed to
gains in biologic factors and learned skills that support speech production. This study …
