INTRODUCTION The physiological and anatomical aspects of vocalization have been studied in various species of animals. Our previous reports indicated that electrical stimulation of a restricted region of the nuceleus subcuneiform in the lateral tegmental area would induce groaning responses and this region was designated as the 'groaning展开更多
