Summary: Vocal flexibility, particularly in speaking and singing, is a key feature of the human species thanks to the neural pathways and coordination in the brain. Two larynx motor areas have been identified in the human brain, with their functional roles in speech motor control still under investigation. The integration of laryngeal and respiratory systems in these areas plays a crucial role in vocalization and may have implications for the evolution of speech.

Summary: This study investigates the neuromotor control of the diaphragm muscle (DIAm) during spontaneous breathing in awake rats. The analysis of electromyography (EMG) data reveals differences in activity patterns during motor unit recruitment and derecruitment, providing insights into the temporal aspects of motor control.

Summary: Rhythmic breathing is generated by neural circuits located in the brainstem, and at its core is the region called preBotC. Destruction or deletion of neurokinin-1 receptor-expressing preBotC neurons severely impairs rhythmic breathing. This study identified a population of excitatory preBotC neurons with major roles in rhythmic breathing and behaviors.

Summary: Humans have a unique ability for voice modulation, which is supported by close connections between multiple brain regions and the existence of somatotopic maps. Understanding how this unique human phenotype evolved in brain networks is crucial for a deeper understanding of the evolutionary process of human speech ability.

Summary: The research found that there is an important functional connection between the auditory cortical regions and the larynx motor area via OP4 in the auditory-motor networks, which is activated when perceiving stimuli with VOT 30 ms. In addition, the neural representation of VOT in the auditory cortical regions is mainly correlated with categorical perception of voicing, but does not reflect the perception of stimuli with VOT 30 ms.

Summary: This population-based retrospective study aimed to analyze the relationship between laryngitis and herpes zoster infection (HZI) using data from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Sample Cohort. The study found that HZI is independently associated with laryngitis, with implications for etiological investigations and prevention strategies for laryngitis. Among laryngeal disease subgroups, inflammatory disease and reflux were specifically associated with HZI.

Summary: A retrospective study on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients revealed that non-IMRT approaches and pulmonary comorbidities are associated with the need for laryngectomy for dysfunction after radiation or chemoradiation.

Summary: Breathing is regulated automatically by neural circuits in the medulla, but it is also influenced by behavior and emotion. Researchers identified a subset of neurons in the parabrachial nucleus that control specific breathing patterns in awake mice. These neurons exert conditional control over breathing in the awake state through projections to the ventral intermediate reticular zone of the medulla.

Summary: This paper investigates the robust approximate optimal control problem for air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV) and proposed a robust approximate optimal controller based on adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). By input-output linearization and introducing auxiliary variables, the high-order nonlinear AHV dynamics are transformed to a second-order feedback decoupling model. The proposed controller considers both robustness and input cost, optimizes control actions, and avoids chattering. The use of a single critic network design ensures system stability and simplifies implementation. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Summary: The forebrain is crucial in ensuring that breathing is aligned with current and anticipated behavioral, emotional, and physiological needs. This review provides an overview of the anatomical and functional evidence implicating forebrain regions in the control of breathing, including the cerebral cortex, extended amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and thalamus. Additional research is needed to better understand the specific roles of these regions.

Summary: The objective of this study was to record Laryngeal Motor Evoked Potentials (LMEPs) in Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)-implanted patients with Drug-Resistant Epilepsy (DRE). The characteristics of LMEPs were evaluated and compared between responders (R) and non-responders (NR). A Support Vector Machine (SVM) model was built to discriminate between R and NR based on LMEPs and dose-response curves features. The study suggests a possible link between vagus nerve recruitment characteristics and treatment effectiveness.

Summary: Skilled arm movements require adaptation based on sensory errors, and studies in mice show that forelimb motor adaptation is regulated by the hypothalamic orexin/hypocretin neurons (HONs). By studying goal-oriented mouse-robot interactions, distinct HON signals were found during forelimb movements and motor adaptation. Temporally-delimited optosilencing of these movement-associated HON signals impaired sensory error-based motor adaptation.

Summary: Breathing is a vital behavior that has a broad influence on the brain and body. Recent advances in understanding the neural control system of breathing, called the breathing central pattern generator (bCPG), have revealed its complexity and its connections to emotions and cognition. These findings bring great potential for further research on the function and dysfunction of breathing and other neural circuits in mammals.

Summary: This article introduces two control strategies, average-model based (AMB) and energy-based (EB) control methods, for controlling a monoinverter dual parallel surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (MIDP-PMSM) with different parameters. The proposed EB control method shows better performance compared to the AMB control method, as demonstrated by mathematical analysis, MATLAB simulation, and experimental implementation.

Summary: This study analyzed the sleep architecture and prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with type 2 spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and compared them with age-matched controls. The results showed that SMA type 2 patients had differences in sleep architecture, including decreased total sleep time, increased percentage of stage N1 of NREM sleep, and increased sleep fragmentation due to respiratory related arousals. Existing pediatric sleep questionnaires may not be effective tools for screening sleep-disordered breathing in these patients.

Summary: Rodents diversified through two sound production mechanisms: whistling and airflow-induced vocal fold vibration. High frequency sounds were produced by whistling, while low frequency sounds were produced by airflow-induced vocal fold vibration. Both mechanisms were used by both neonates and adults.
