Functional mapping of auditory responses to complex sounds under light anesthesia in rhesus macaques Open
We investigated the auditory responses of anesthetized rhesus macaques to complex natural sounds using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a near-awake anesthesia protocol combining low-dose sevoflurane and dexmedetomidine. El…

Voice identity invariance by anterior temporal lobe neurons Open
The ability to recognize speakers by their voice despite acoustical variation plays a substantial role in primate social interactions. Although neurons in the macaque anterior temporal lobe (ATL) show invariance to face viewpoint, whether …

Functional organization of voice patches in marmosets and cross-species comparisons with macaques and humans Open
We recently identified voice-selective patches in the marmoset auditory cortex, but whether these regions specifically encode conspecific vocalizations over heterospecific ones-and whether they share a similar functional organization with …

Investigating the cortical mechanisms of conspecific voice perception in anesthetized marmosets using 3T fMRI Open
Background Functional MRI studies have shown the existence of cortical areas selective for conspecific vocalizations (‘voice patches’) in the temporal lobe of both humans and macaques. Two recent studies using high-field small-animal fMRI …

Dual temporal codes for voice identity in the primate auditory cortex Open
Recognition of vocal identity is essential for primate social behavior, yet the neural mechanisms supporting this ability remain poorly understood. Cognitive models suggest that the brain may represent identity based on an average voice pr…

Comparison of auditory fMRI protocols for a voice localizer Open
Auditory functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) presents unique challenges due to scanner noise interference, which can limit the detection of stimulus-related brain activity. This study systematically evaluates five different fMRI p…

Reconstructing Voice Identity from Noninvasive Auditory Cortex Recordings Open
The cerebral processing of voice information is known to engage, in human as well as non-human primates, “temporal voice areas” (TVAs) that respond preferentially to conspecific vocalizations. However, how voice information is represented …

A population of neurons selective for human voice in the monkey brain Open
Many animals can extract useful information from the vocalizations of other species. Neuroimaging studies have evidenced areas sensitive to conspecific vocalizations in the cerebral cortex of primates, but how these areas process heterospe…

Anatomo-functional correspondence in the voice-selective regions of human prefrontal cortex Open
Group level analyses of functional regions involved in voice perception show evidence of 3 sets of bilateral voice-sensitive activations in the human prefrontal cortex, named the anterior, middle and posterior Frontal Voice Areas (FVAs). H…

In the May issue of Cell Reports, Jafari et al.1 used ultra-high-field fMRI to show that marmosets, like humans and macaques, possess an extensive network of voice-selective areas.

Auditory hemispheric asymmetry as a specialization for actions and objects Open
What is the function of auditory hemispheric asymmetry? We propose that the identification of sound sources relies on two complementary and perceptually relevant acoustic invariants — actions and objects — that are processed asymmetrically…

The Temporal Voice Areas are not “just” Speech Areas Open
The Temporal Voice Areas (TVAs) respond more strongly to speech sounds than to non-speech vocal sounds, but does this make them Temporal “Speech” Areas? We provide a perspective on this issue by combining univariate, multivariate, and repr…

Categorization of vocal and nonvocal stimuli in Guinea baboons (<i>Papio papio</i>) Open
Categorization of vocal sounds apart from other sounds is one of the key abilities in human voice processing, but whether this ability is present in other animals, particularly nonhuman primates, remains unclear. In the present study, 25 s…
