The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
And finally a third set of genes that are specialized in these speed circuit are involved in neuroplasticity. Uh neuroplasticity meaning allowing the brain circuits to be more flexible uh so you can learn better. And why is that? I think learning how to produce speech is a more complex learning ability than say learning how to walk or or learning how to do tricks and jumps and so forth that dogs do
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Uh um genes that control what we call axon guidance and form in connections. And what was interesting, it was sort of in the opposite direction that we expected. That is some of these genes, actually a number of them that control neuro connectivity were turned off. in the speech circuit. All right? Uh and it didn't make sense to us at first until we started to realize the function of these genes are to repel connections from forming. So repulsive molecules and so when you turn them off, they allow certain connections to form that normally would have not formed. So it's a so by turning it off, you got a gain of function for speech, right?
