FOXP transcription factors are an evolutionarily ancient protein subfamily coordinating the
development of several organ systems in the vertebrate body. Association of their genes …

Purpose The goal of this article (PM I) is to describe the rationale for and development of the
Pause Marker (PM), a single-sign diagnostic marker proposed to discriminate early or …

Vocalizations play a significant role in social communication across species. Analyses in
rodents have used a limited number of spectro-temporal measures to compare ultrasonic …

Sequencing studies have implicated haploinsufficiency of ARID1B, a SWI/SNF chromatin-
remodeling subunit, in short stature (Yu et al., 2015), autism spectrum disorder (O'Roak et …

Learning vocal behaviors, like speech and birdsong, is thought to rely on continued
performance evaluation. Whether candidate performance evaluation circuits in the brain are …

The UBE3A gene is part of the chromosome 15q11-q13 region that is frequently deleted or
duplicated, leading to several neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Angelman syndrome …

Rodents' ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) provide useful information for assessing their
social behaviors. Despite previous efforts in classifying subcategories of time-frequency …

The use of vocalizations to communicate information and elaborate social bonds is an
adaptation seen in many vertebrate species. Human speech is an extreme version of this …

Human speech and language are among the most complex motor and cognitive abilities.
