A Foxp2 mutation implicated in human speech deficits alters sequencing of ultrasonic vocalizations in adult male mice
Development of proficient spoken language skills is disrupted by mutations of the FOXP2 transcription factor. A heterozygous missense mutation in the KE family causes speech apraxia, involving difficulty producing words with complex learned sequences of syllables. Manipulations in songbirds have hel...
