The rise of comparative genomics and related technologies has added important new
dimensions to the study of human evolution. Our knowledge of the genes that underwent …

This article discusses the possible homologies between the human language networks and
comparable auditory projection systems in the macaque brain, in an attempt to reconcile two …

The gene coding for the forkhead box protein P2 (FOXP2) is associated with human
language disorders. Evolutionary changes in this gene are hypothesized to have contributed …

The remarkable sensory, motor, and cognitive abilities of mammals mainly depend on the
neocortex. Thus, the emergence of the six-layered neocortex in reptilian ancestors of …

The discovery of toolkit genes, which are highly conserved genes that consistently regulate
the development of similar morphological phenotypes across diverse species, is one of the …

The present article surveys the field of biolinguistics. It revisits the roots of the field's core
research agenda, then turns to the various factors that led to its recent re-emergence, and …

Language is a cornerstone of human culture, yet the evolution of this cognitive-demanding
ability is shrouded in mystery. Studying how different species demonstrate this trait can …

Objective To investigate how microRNA-190 (miR-190) regulates FOXP2 genes in gastric
cancer (GC) cell line SGC7901. Methods We identified that miR-190 could target FOXP2 …

Increasing studies have indicated the critical roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in
the tumorigenesis of cancers. LncRNA AGAP2 antisense RNA 1 (AGAP2-AS1) can serve as …

Animal linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates animal behavior, linguistics, and
cognitive science to explore issues such as (a) what animal signals mean,(b) what cognitive …
