Journal ArticleDOI

A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder

TL;DR: It is suggested that the gene FOXP2, which encodes a putative transcription factor containing a polyglutamine tract and a forkhead DNA-binding domain, is involved in the developmental process that culminates in speech and language.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular evolution of FOXP2, a gene involved in speech and language

TL;DR: It is shown that human FOXP2 contains changes in amino-acid coding and a pattern of nucleotide polymorphism, which strongly suggest that this gene has been the target of selection during recent human evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants influence human subcortical brain structures.

Derrek P. Hibar, +344 more
- 09 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct genome-wide association studies of the volumes of seven subcortical regions and the intracranial volume derived from magnetic resonance images of 30,717 individuals from 50 cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ENIGMA Consortium: large-scale collaborative analyses of neuroimaging and genetic data

Paul M. Thompson, +332 more
TL;DR: The ENIGMA Consortium has detected factors that affect the brain that no individual site could detect on its own, and that require larger numbers of subjects than any individual neuroimaging study has currently collected.
