The Neural Shortcut to Language

The complex vocal duets of Alston’s singing mice are powered by a simple tripling of existing neural connections, rather than a larger brain. This "evolutionary hack" offers a new playbook for understanding how human speech emerged through targeted wiring changes.

This shows the outline of a person, a brain, and speech bubbles.
