Vocalization is a complex behavioral pattern in which several cortical and subcortical structures are involved to produce proper vocal output. While learned vocal patterns, such as speech, are produced by a complex cortical network, genetically preprogrammed vocalizations, to which most mammalian vocalizations belong, are generated by a complex neuronal network in the brainstem. Structures involved in this network are the periaqueductal gray, ventrolateral parabrachial area, nucleus retroambiguus and the lateral pontine, as well as the lateral and caudal medullary reticular formation. This network has direct access to all motoneuron pools controlling laryngeal, respiratory and articulatory components of vocalization. It receives proprioceptive feedback information from laryngeal, pulmonary and oral mechanoreceptors via the solitary tract nucleus and spinal trigeminal nucleus. The network receives facilitating input from emotional, motivational and sensory structures via the periaqueductal gray, which serves as an integration center and triggering structure for vocalization.
