It is demonstrated that species-specific vocalizations in rhesus monkeys activate preferentially the auditory ventral stream, and in particular areas of the antero-lateral belt and parabelt.

It is argued that a synthesis of results from humans, non‐human primates and rodents is necessary to identify the neural circuitry of vocal communication processing, and efforts to standardize data formats and analysis tools would benefit comparative research and enable synergies between psychological and biological research in the area of vocal Communication processing.

It is shown that rhesus monkeys can control their vocalizations in a goal-directed way, suggesting a cardinal role of the monkey homologue of Broca's area in vocal planning and call initiation, a putative phylogenetic precursor in non-human primates for speech control in linguistic humans.

The hypothesis that baboons’ cortical temporal regions may be more sensitive to the processing of conspecific sounds compared to heterospecific stimuli is not excluded and fNIRS may be a promising alternative to further investigate the auditory mechanisms at play in the right and left baboon’ temporal cortices for theprocessing of emotional vocalizations.
Repetition enhancement to voice identities in the dog brain
- Biology, PsychologyScientific Reports

The results in dogs corroborate former human and non-human primate evidence on the role of secondary auditory regions in the processing of suprasegmental cues, suggesting similar neural sensitivity to the identity of the vocalizer across the mammalian order.

To investigate the pattern of neural activity that might underlie this particular form of functional asymmetry in monkeys, local cerebral metabolic activity was measured while the animals listened passively to species-specific calls compared with a variety of other classes of sound.
A voice region in the monkey brain
- Biology, PsychologyNature Neuroscience
- 2008
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging of macaque monkeys, a high-level auditory region is discovered that prefers species-specific vocalizations over other vocalizations and sounds and supports the notion that, for different primate species, the anterior temporal regions of the brain are adapted for recognizing communication signals from conspecifics.
An Auditory Region in the Primate Insular Cortex Responding Preferentially to Vocal Communication Sounds

These findings characterize the caudal insula as a selectively responding auditory region, possibly part of a processing stream involved in the representation of communication sounds, and uncover a basis for a supposed role of the insula in processing vocal communication sounds such as speech.

Neural systems associated with perceiving species-specific vocalizations in rhesus macaques using H215O positron emission tomography are identified and this finding suggests the possibility that the last common ancestor of macaques and humans possessed key neural mechanisms that were plausible candidates for exaptation during the evolution of language.

The discovery that several nonprimary auditory cortical regions may be multisensory and responsive to vocalizations with corresponding facial gestures may change the way in which the authors view the processing of communication information by the auditory system.
Voice-selective areas in human auditory cortex
- Psychology, BiologyNature

It is shown, using functional magnetic resonance imaging in human volunteers, that voice-selective regions can be found bilaterally along the upper bank of the superior temporal sulcus (STS), and their existence sheds new light on the functional architecture of the human auditory cortex.
Interactions between the Superior Temporal Sulcus and Auditory Cortex Mediate Dynamic Face/Voice Integration in Rhesus Monkeys
- Biology, PsychologyThe Journal of Neuroscience

The data suggest that the integration of faces and voices is mediated at least in part by neuronal cooperation between auditory cortex and the STS and that interactions between these structures are a fast and efficient way of dealing with the multisensory communication signals.
