Vocalizations elicited by electrical stimulation in the midbrain of pigeons were studied in connection with heart- and breathing-rates. Most of the sites where sound production could be elicited were found in the nucleus intercollicularis (ICo), lying rostromedial to the nucleus mesencephalicus lateralis, pars dorsalis (Mld). All vocalizations were accompanied by an increase of heart- and breathing-rates. Electrical stimulation elicits predominantly changes in breathing-rate which can be accompanied by passive vocalization.
研究了鸽子中脑电刺激引发的发声与心率和呼吸频率的关系。发现大多数能引发声音产生的部位位于中脑外侧核背侧部（Mld）嘴侧内侧的间丘核（ICo）。所有发声都伴随着心率和呼吸频率的增加。电刺激主要引起呼吸频率的变化，可能伴有被动发声。
