Vocal communication is described as transfer of intraspecific signals between a sender and a receiver across humans and many animal species. It demands constant self-monitoring of vocal feedback to ensure precise emission of voice. The most representative phenomenon facilitated by vocal-feedback mechanism is known as the Lombard effect. Lombard effect, along with other spectro-temporal vocal modifications, is termed as noise-induced vocal modifications (NIVMs). However, despite the functional importance of NIVMs, our current knowledge of the neural mechanisms underlying this vital vocal feedback-dependent behavior is still poorly understood. In our current study, we provide the first detailed description of that rats exhibit strong compensatory increases in mean call frequency and relatively weak but significant increases in mean call intensity, as well as reduced total call duration in the presence of white noise. Furthermore, during rat vocalization, the cells within the auditory cortex are strangely engage in vocal production and can be classified into five distinct response types (See figure for an example). Among these neurons, we discovered a specific population of auditory cortex cells that encode the information of vocal duration and vocal occurrence. Additionally, we provide both necessary and sufficient evidence demonstrating that bidirectional manipulation of the auditory cortex globally can modulate rat vocal emissions. In the end, our anatomical tracing data offer additional insights into the potential output circuits originating from the auditory cortex, which may mediate the impact of noise-induced vocal modifications in rats.
