Disrupting FoxP2 Expression Alters Song Variability and Signal Propagation Through a Basal Ganglia Pathway Important for Learned Vocalizations

<p>Mutations of the FOXP2 gene impair speech and language development in humans and shRNA-mediated suppression of the avian orthologue FoxP2 disrupts song learning in juvenile zebra finches. How diminished FoxP2 levels affect vocal control and alter the function of neural circuits important t...
