The ability to detect vocal sounds, and the more specialized skill of recognizing calls from one’s own species, is supported by evolutionarily ancient brain mechanisms, according to a new study from the ELTE Department of Ethology, Hungary. In the first-ever direct comparison of companion dogs, companion pigs, and humans, researchers from the university’s Neuroethology of Communication Lab examined the neural correlates of voice processing across these three distantly related mammals.
