Deciphering the genetic basis of speech and language disorders

Article Abstract:

A unique three-generation family, showing monogenic inheritance of speech and language deficits is argued to lead to the isolation of the first such gene on chromosome 7, which encodes a transcription factor known as FOXP2. Investigations regarding the molecular genetic approach that has potential for dissecting neurological pathways underlying speech and language disorders is only just beginning.

Neuronal substrates of complex behaviors in C. elegans

Article Abstract:

The neuronal substrates in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans are discussed. C.elegans is able to respond to different attractive and repellent odors with the help of five olfactory neurons.
