The laryngeal motor cortex: its organization and connectivity
K Simonyan - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2014 - Elsevier
Highlights • Laryngeal motor cortex is indispensable for human but not monkey vocal motor
control. • It is located in the area 4 in humans but in the area 6 in non-human primates. • It …

Laryngeal motor cortex and control of speech in humans
K Simonyan, B Horwitz - The Neuroscientist, 2011 - journals.sagepub.com
Speech production is one of the most complex and rapid motor behaviors, and it involves a
precise coordination of more than 100 laryngeal, orofacial, and respiratory muscles. Yet we …
