Abstract
Genes including FOXP2, FOXP1, and CNTNAP2, have been implicated in human speech and language phenotypes, pointing to a role in the development of normal language‐related circuitry in the brain. Although speech and language are unique to humans a comparative approach is possible by addressing language‐relevant traits in animal systems. One such trait, vocal learning, represents an essential component of human spoken language, and is shared by cetaceans, pinnipeds, elephants, some birds and bats. Given their vocal learning abilities, gregarious nature, and reliance on vocalizations for social communication and n...

Architectonic features and relative locations of primary sensory and related areas of neocortex in mouse lemurs
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Mouse lemurs are the smallest of primates, and members of the understudied radiation of lemurs of Madagascar. Overall, mouse lemurs are thought to resemble early primates. We used a series of histological procedures to identify and characterize visual, auditory, somatosensory and motor areas in the neocortex of mouse lemur brains as a step towards discovering how these brains are similar and different from other primate brains.

TrpM8 ‐mediated somatosensation in mouse neocortex
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Activation of cutaneous TrpM8 receptor‐expressing neurons was used to identify candidate neocortical areas responsive for cool sensation. Brain areas corresponding to the posterior insular cortex and secondary somatosensory (S2) show elevated fos‐IR after menthol stimulation, with weaker activation in primary somatosensory cortex (S1). Menthol‐mediated activation was absent in TrpM8‐knock‐out animals. Our results indicate that cool somatosensory input broadly drives neural activity across the mouse brain, with neocortical signal most elevated in the po...

Binocular Response Modulation in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Our brains combine the signals from the two eyes to create a singular view. Where the separate streams from the two eyes meet in the primate brain is unclear, with debate centering on whether the signals from the two eyes remain separate within the main target of retinal projections, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Here we review the effects of binocular stimulation on LGN neurons and evaluate neural circuits that might mediate binocular interactions in this structure.
