Abstract
⺠Xenopus laevis vocalizations differ in males and females due to hormone action. ⺠Sex-typical fictive songs can be produced by the isolated brain and vocal organ. ⺠A hindbrain central pattern generator generates vocal patterns in both sexes. ⺠Calls are initiated by forebrain and midbrain, modulated by auditory input. ⺠Hormone sensitivity of different circuit elements changes across the lifespan.
