The brain of modern humans has evolved remarkable computational abilities that enable
higher cognitive functions. These capacities are tightly linked to an increase in the size and …

Abstract Language is a complex multidimensional cognitive system that is connected to
many neurocognitive capacities. The development of language is therefore strongly …

Despite the substantial heritability of antisocial behavior (ASB), specific genetic variants
robustly associated with the trait have not been identified. The present study by the Broad …

Deciphering the genetic relationships between major depressive disorder (MDD) and
insomnia may facilitate understanding biological mechanisms as well as inform more …

The genetic basis of the human vocal system is largely unknown, as are the sequence
variants that give rise to individual differences in voice and speech. Here, we couple data on …

Many human birth defects and neurodevelopmental disorders are caused by loss-of-function
mutations in a single copy of transcription factor (TF) and chromatin regulator genes …

Schizophrenia provides a quintessential disease model of how disturbances in the
molecular mechanisms of neurodevelopment lead to disruptions in the emergence of …

Purpose: Advancements in genetic testing and analysis have allowed improved
identification of the genetic basis of childhood apraxia of speech, a rare speech …

Abstract The Forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) encodes for a transcription factor with a broad role
in embryonic development. It is especially represented among GWAS hits for …

Approximately 7% of children have developmental language disorder (DLD), a
neurodevelopmental condition associated with persistent language learning difficulties …
