Vocal reactions in chicks are controlled by the same midbrain structures as those in adult hens, namely n. intercollicularis (ICO), n. mesencephalicus lateralis, pars dorsalis (MLD), n. isthmi, pars principalis magnocellularis (IMC), n. mesencephalicus lateralis ventralis (MLV), n. isthmi, pars principalis parvocellularis (IPC). The nuclei ICO, MLO, IPC, IMC control the duration and form of vocal messages, as well as frequency parameters of the spectrum--i.e. the specific components of bioacoustic signals. The reticular formation and MLV are responsible for the amplitude of vocal messages and the interval between the latter.
雏鸡的发声反应由与成年母鸡相同的中脑结构控制，即顶盖间神经核（ICO）、中脑外侧核背侧部（MLD）、峡核大细胞主部（IMC）、中脑外侧核腹侧部（MLV）、峡核小细胞主部（IPC）。ICO、MLO、IPC、IMC核控制发声信息的持续时间和形式，以及频谱的频率参数——即生物声学信号的特定成分。网状结构和MLV负责发声信息的幅度以及发声信息之间的间隔。
