  "summary": "Mice use almost completely distinct sets of neurons for their two different types of vocalizations—the squeaks they produce when in distress or fighting and the whistle-like ultrasonic vocalizations they use when communicating socially, Cornell neuroscientists have found. The discovery is a step toward understanding how the brain is organized to control vocalization in mammals, including humans.",
