Abstract

Significance We examined the cortical control of a laryngeal muscle that is essential for vocalization in two monkey species that differ in their vocal motor skill. Our results suggest that enhancements in vocal skill are coupled to enlargements in the descending output from two premotor areas, ventral area 6 (area 6V) and the supplementary motor area (SMA). This result challenges the view that improvements in motor skills are due largely to changes in the output from the primary motor cortex.
