Functions of the cortico-basal ganglia circuits for spoken language may extend beyond emotional-affective modulation in adults

Takashi Hanakawa et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Dec.

Abstract

We support Ackermann et al.'s proposal that the cortico-basal ganglia circuits may play essential roles in the evolution of spoken language. Here we discuss further evidence indicating that the cortico-basal ganglia circuits may contribute to various aspects of spoken language including planning, learning, and controlling of speech in adulthood.
