The eyes have it: the neuroethology, function and evolution of social gaze
TL;DR: The hypothesis that gaze following is "hard-wired" in the brain, and may be localized within a circuit linking the superior temporal sulcus, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex is discussed.

Acoustic Communication in Noise
Henrik Brumm,Hans Slabbekoorn +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews recent advancements in studies of vocal adaptations to interference by background noise and relates these to fundamental issues in sound perception in animals and humans.

Complex signal function: developing a framework of testable hypotheses
Eileen A. Hebets,Daniel R. Papaj +1 more
TL;DR: This work builds a framework of functional hypotheses of complex signal evolution based on content-driven (ultimate) and efficacy-driven selection pressures (sensu Guilford and Dawkins 1991), and point out key predictions for various hypotheses and discuss different approaches to uncovering complex signal function.
MonographDOI
The Evolution of Language
TL;DR: The authors exploit newly available massive natu- ral language corpora to capture the language as a language evolution phenomenon. But their work is limited to a subset of the languages in the corpus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graded persistent activity in entorhinal cortex neurons
TL;DR: It is shown that individual neurons from layer V of the entorhinal cortex—which link the hippocampus to extensive cortical regions—respond to consecutive stimuli with graded changes in firing frequency that remain stable after each stimulus presentation, which constitutes an elementary mechanism for working memory.
