Scientists say they have assembled more completely the string of genetic letters that could control how well parrots learn to imitate their owners and other sounds by using single molecule sequencing.
Researchers show how two molecules regulate a gene implicated in speech and language impairments, as well as ASD.
A gene implicated in human speech disorders and epilepsy is also required for vocalization and synapse formation in mice, researchers discover.
Researchers discover that a genetic mutation which arose over half a million years ago could be key to humans' ability to understand and produce speech.
Researchers report spontaneous mutations of the TBR1 gene could be a cause of autism.
New research suggests we can gain a better understanding of human speech production by looking at the genetics of songbirds.
According to a new study, a genetic variation in the FOXP2 gene is associated with the ability for adults to learn new languages.
A study using male mice with a specific genetic mutation provides an innovative way to study how genes affect vocal sound sequencing.
Researchers investigate the effect of a genetic mutation of the FOXP2 gene on the vocalization patterns of adult male mice.
A new study reveals how manipulating the FoxP2 gene could have positive implications for those suffering speech related disorders.
A new study challenges how we think about how humans acquired language. The study found no evidence that recent, human specific selection occurs for the FOXP2 gene in relation to language development
Study finds three of six genetic variants which contribute to a child's language development are also associated with mental health risks.
