Language in the era of the Genome
Two of the most central questions in understanding the nature of the uniquely human talent for language are the extent to which the underlying neural machinery is "innate" (or "built-in"), and the extent to which that machinery is specialized for language as opposed to other cognitive functions. In this talk, I show how recent research in genetics and developmental neuroscience suggests new ways of thinking about these questions.
The RuCCS Colloquia Series is organized by Dr. Julien Musolino and Dr. Sara Pixley. The talks are held on Tuesdays in the Psychology Building, Room 101 on the Busch Campus from 1:00-2:30pm.
