Singing mice speak volumes | Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
All mice squeak, but only some sing. Scotinomys teguina, aka Alston’s singing mice, hail from the cloud forests of Costa Rica. More than 2,000 miles north, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) neurosc...

As a longtime fan of cool papers in

Parametric Modulation of a Shared Midbrain Circuit Drives Distinct Vocal Modes in a Singing Mouse
Neural circuits capable of generating multiple outputs are essential for behavioral flexibility, yet their organizational principles remain poorly understood. Using vocal communication in singing mice...
