Schizophrenia (SZ) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterised by marked
language deficits, but it is not clear how these arise from gene mutations associated with the …

INTRODUCTION: Dyslexia is a learning disability in which reading (but not any other) impairment
is the most prominent symptom. There seems to be a high comorbidity among dyslexia …

… oscillatory profiles when computing language [Murphy and Benítez-Burraco, 2016b]. Similarly
to SZ… for the evolution of our language readiness [see Benítez-Burraco and Murphy, 2016]. …

Our core hypothesis is that the emergence of our species-specific language-ready brain
ought to be understood in light of the developmental changes expressed at the levels of brain …

Two genomic clones corresponding to putative pectate lyase genes (plA and plB) were isolated
and characterized in strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa cv. Chandler). The corresponding …

We propose that human self-domestication favored the emergence of a less aggressive
phenotype in our species, more precisely phenotype prone to replace (reactive) physical …

We explore the potential that brain oscillations have for improving our understanding of how
language develops, is processed in the brain, and initially evolved in our species. The …

… Following a line of research we initiated in Boeckx and Benítez-Burraco (2014a) , we
hypothesize functional links among most of these genes and their products, based on the existing …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are pervasive neurodevelopmental disorders entailing social
and cognitive deficits, including marked problems with language. Numerous genes have …

We propose that languages (and seemingly our language capabilities) evolved gradually
as a result of being engaged in an active feedback loop with human self-domestication. Our …
