Yes, actually. That idea is what we're pursuing in my group here, to try to genetically engineer or enhance vocal communication circuits, actually in mice. And we just submitted a preprint on this, and we'll see how it gets reviewed. But it's one of my favorite experiments because it takes discoveries that we learn through comparative genetics,

comparative neuroscience for a complex trait and try to recapitulate the evolution of that ability, you know, I think it'll take us a lot of years to really understand how these brain circuits work even more. But, you know, the little steps, you can take a little step and, you know, try to engineer these brain circuits.

Now, if you're able to do that, let's say in a mouse or repair a brain circuit in the sunburn, why not be able to enhance vocal communication circuits in humans or repair them if there's a disruption in certain connectivity due to stroke or a certain genetic disorder?

That's right. I know there are ethical concerns surrounding that, but the day will come.

Yeah, I think we're going to... My prediction, and it's not even a prediction because we're already finding it out. We're finding out that we have to be careful about making assumptions about what makes us humans or using the word unique too liberally when we talk about ourselves. Yes, we can look out there in the rest of the world and find that...

We've been the only species that have built these giant tall buildings and airplanes and so forth. But there are other species that are out there building households of natural made products. Bowerbirds, right? That they build houses that last 30 years that they use for made attraction, for, you know, shelter and so forth.

And so we have to also kind of reclassify as to what we think is advanced complex intelligent behavior. And I think we're going to learn a lot more than what makes us unique. We're going to learn a lot more about what makes us the same.
