Neural control of lexical tone production in human laryngeal motor cortex

J. Lu, Y. Li, et al.

Discover the neural mechanisms behind Mandarin tonal production in this fascinating study by Junfeng Lu, Yuanning Li, Zehao Zhao, Yan Liu, Yanming Zhu, Ying Mao, Jinsong Wu, and Edward F. Chang. Through advanced cortical recordings and stimulation techniques, researchers reveal how the brain encodes pitch dynamics rather than categorizing tones. This breakthrough enhances our understanding of vocal control in language.
