Sensitivity of the human temporal voice areas to nonhuman primate vocalizations

This valuable study shows that regions of the human auditory cortex that respond strongly to voices are also sensitive to vocalizations from closely related primate species. The study is ...

HoxB-derived hoxba and hoxbb clusters are essential for the anterior–posterior positioning of zebrafish pectoral fins

Vertebrate paired appendages, such as the pectoral fins in fish and the forelimbs in tetrapods, arise at specific regions along the anterior–posterior axis of the body. Hox genes have long been ...
