In a lab at Rockefeller University in New York, a mouse squeaks. But this is no ordinary squeak. It is a strange, complex ...

A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with the same mutation, a rare finding of a direct genetic link to psychosis, ...

The possibility has been raised that the complex language ability unique to humans emerged due to a specific genetic mutation. Although extinct primitive humans had similar anatomical structures ...

A specific gene variant seen in people is likely one of many that contributed to the development of language in modern humans ...

but it is known that Neanderthals also had a similar genetic mutation, suggesting that this occurred in the ancestors of the human lineage. However, there is some disagreement about the findings ...
