The neurobiology of primate vocal communication
Recent investigations of non-human primate communication revealed vocal behaviors far more
complex than previously appreciated. Understanding the neural basis of these communicative
behaviors is important as it has the potential to reveal the basic underpinnings of the still more
complex human speech. The latest work revealed vocalization-sensitive regions both within and
beyond the traditional boundaries of the central auditory system. The importance and mechanisms
of multi-sensory face-voice integration in vocal communication are also increasingly apparent.
Finally, studies on the mechanisms of vocal production demonstrated auditory-motor interactions
that may allow for self-monitoring and vocal control. We review the current work in these areas of
primate communication research
