Dyslexia, a specific reading disability, is a common (up to 10% of children) and highly
heritable (~ 70%) neurodevelopmental disorder. Behavioral and molecular genetic …

Language disorders are highly heritable and are influenced by complex interactions
between genetic and environmental factors. Despite more than twenty years of research, we …

Reading and writing are crucial life skills but roughly one in ten children are affected by
dyslexia, which can persist into adulthood. Family studies of dyslexia suggest heritability up …

Reading is an evolutionarily recent development that recruits and tunes brain circuitry
connecting primary-and language-processing regions. We investigated whether metrics of …

Personality and cognitive function are heritable mental traits whose genetic foundations may
be distributed across interconnected brain functions. Previous studies have typically treated …

The genetic basis of the human vocal system is largely unknown, as are the sequence
variants that give rise to individual differences in voice and speech. Here, we couple data on …

Using individual differences approaches, a growing body of literature finds positive
associations between musicality and language-related abilities, complementing prior …

Purpose: Young people with developmental language disorder (DLD) have poorer mental
health than those without DLD. However, not all young people with DLD are equally …

Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder
characterised by receptive or expressive language difficulties or both. While theoretical …

Neuroimaging studies implicate multiple cortical regions in reading ability/disability.
However, the neural cell types integral to the reading process are unknown. To contribute to …
