Abstract

Animals Humans Learning - physiology Motor Neurons - physiology Periodicity Vocalization, Animal - physiology
In this article, I present three main points that could benefit the "vocal learning and rhythmic synchronization hypothesis", encompassing neurogenetic mechanisms of gene expression transmission and single motor neuron function, classification of different behavioral motor phenotypes (e.g., spontaneous vs. voluntary), and other evolutionary considerations (i.e., the involvement of reward mechanisms).
