    Description: The signalling pathways controlling both the evolution and development of language in the human brain remain unknown. So far, the transcription factor FOXP2 (forkhead box P2) is the only gene implicated in Mendelian forms of human speech and language dysfunction. It has been proposed that the amino acid composition in the human variant of FOXP2 has undergone accelerated evolution, and this two-amino-acid change occurred around the time of language emergence in humans. However, this remains controversial, and whether the acquisition of these amino acids in human FOXP2 has any functional consequence in human neurons remains untested. Here we demonstrate that these two human-specific amino acids alter FOXP2 function by conferring differential transcriptional regulation in vitro. We extend these observations in vivo to human and chimpanzee brain, and use network analysis to identify novel relationships among the differentially expressed genes. These data provide experimental support for the functional relevance of changes in FOXP2 that occur on the human lineage, highlighting specific pathways with direct consequences for human brain development and disease in the central nervous system (CNS). Because FOXP2 has an important role in speech and language in humans, the identified targets may have a critical function in the development and evolution of language circuitry in humans.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2778075/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2778075/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Konopka, Genevieve -- Bomar, Jamee M -- Winden, Kellen -- Coppola, Giovanni -- Jonsson, Zophonias O -- Gao, Fuying -- Peng, Sophia -- Preuss, Todd M -- Wohlschlegel, James A -- Geschwind, Daniel H -- N01-HD-4-3368/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- N01-HD-4-3383/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R21 MH075028/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R21 MH075028-02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R21MH075028/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R37 MH060233/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R37 MH060233-06A1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R37MH60233-06A1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- RR00165/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- T32HD007032/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- T32MH073526/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Nov 12;462(7270):213-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08549.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Neurogenetics, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA. gena@alum.mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19907493" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Advances in genetics and genomics have fuelled a revolution in discovery-based, or hypothesis-generating, research that provides a powerful complement to the more directly hypothesis-driven molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience. Genetic and functional genomic studies have already yielded important insights into neuronal diversity and function, as well as disease. One of the most exciting and challenging frontiers in neuroscience involves harnessing the power of large-scale genetic, genomic and phenotypic data sets, and the development of tools for data integration and mining. Methods for network analysis and systems biology offer the promise of integrating these multiple levels of data, connecting molecular pathways to nervous system function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3645852/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3645852/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Geschwind, Daniel H -- Konopka, Genevieve -- K99 MH090238/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R37 MH060233/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R37 MH60233-06A1/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- U24 NS052108/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- U24 NS52108/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Oct 15;461(7266):908-15. doi: 10.1038/nature08537.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Program in Neurogenetics and Neurobehavioural Genetics, Department of Neurology and Semel Institute, David Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA. dhg@ucla.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19829370" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The human left and right cerebral hemispheres are anatomically and functionally asymmetric. To test whether human cortical asymmetry has a molecular basis, we studied gene expression levels between the left and right embryonic hemispheres using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). We identified and verified 27 differentially expressed genes, which suggests that human cortical asymmetry is accompanied by early, marked transcriptional asymmetries. LMO4 is consistently more highly expressed in the right perisylvian human cerebral cortex than in the left and is essential for cortical development in mice, suggesting that human left-right specialization reflects asymmetric cortical development at early stages.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2756725/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2756725/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sun, Tao -- Patoine, Christina -- Abu-Khalil, Amir -- Visvader, Jane -- Sum, Eleanor -- Cherry, Timothy J -- Orkin, Stuart H -- Geschwind, Daniel H -- Walsh, Christopher A -- MH60233/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS035129/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS035129-03/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 R37 NS35129/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS035129/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R37 NS035129-05/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jun 17;308(5729):1794-8.

    Description: Neuroanatomically precise, genome-wide maps of transcript distributions are critical resources to complement genomic sequence data and to correlate functional and genetic brain architecture. Here we describe the generation and analysis of a transcriptional atlas of the adult human brain, comprising extensive histological analysis and comprehensive microarray profiling of approximately 900 neuroanatomically precise subdivisions in two individuals. Transcriptional regulation varies enormously by anatomical location, with different regions and their constituent cell types displaying robust molecular signatures that are highly conserved between individuals. Analysis of differential gene expression and gene co-expression relationships demonstrates that brain-wide variation strongly reflects the distributions of major cell classes such as neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglia. Local neighbourhood relationships between fine anatomical subdivisions are associated with discrete neuronal subtypes and genes involved with synaptic transmission. The neocortex displays a relatively homogeneous transcriptional pattern, but with distinct features associated selectively with primary sensorimotor cortices and with enriched frontal lobe expression. Notably, the spatial topography of the neocortex is strongly reflected in its molecular topography-the closer two cortical regions, the more similar their transcriptomes. This freely accessible online data resource forms a high-resolution transcriptional baseline for neurogenetic studies of normal and abnormal human brain function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4243026/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4243026/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hawrylycz, Michael J -- Lein, Ed S -- Guillozet-Bongaarts, Angela L -- Shen, Elaine H -- Ng, Lydia -- Miller, Jeremy A -- van de Lagemaat, Louie N -- Smith, Kimberly A -- Ebbert, Amanda -- Riley, Zackery L -- Abajian, Chris -- Beckmann, Christian F -- Bernard, Amy -- Bertagnolli, Darren -- Boe, Andrew F -- Cartagena, Preston M -- Chakravarty, M Mallar -- Chapin, Mike -- Chong, Jimmy -- Dalley, Rachel A -- Daly, Barry David -- Dang, Chinh -- Datta, Suvro -- Dee, Nick -- Dolbeare, Tim A -- Faber, Vance -- Feng, David -- Fowler, David R -- Goldy, Jeff -- Gregor, Benjamin W -- Haradon, Zeb -- Haynor, David R -- Hohmann, John G -- Horvath, Steve -- Howard, Robert E -- Jeromin, Andreas -- Jochim, Jayson M -- Kinnunen, Marty -- Lau, Christopher -- Lazarz, Evan T -- Lee, Changkyu -- Lemon, Tracy A -- Li, Ling -- Li, Yang -- Morris, John A -- Overly, Caroline C -- Parker, Patrick D -- Parry, Sheana E -- Reding, Melissa -- Royall, Joshua J -- Schulkin, Jay -- Sequeira, Pedro Adolfo -- Slaughterbeck, Clifford R -- Smith, Simon C -- Sodt, Andy J -- Sunkin, Susan M -- Swanson, Beryl E -- Vawter, Marquis P -- Williams, Derric -- Wohnoutka, Paul -- Zielke, H Ronald -- Geschwind, Daniel H -- Hof, Patrick R -- Smith, Stephen M -- Koch, Christof -- Grant, Seth G N -- Jones, Allan R -- 066717/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 077155/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 1C76HF15069-01-00/PHS HHS/ -- 1C76HF19619-01-00/PHS HHS/ -- G0700399/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0802238/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2012 Sep 20;489(7416):391-9. doi: 10.1038/nature11405.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Allen Institute for Brain Science, Seattle, Washington 98103, USA. mikeh@alleninstitute.org〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22996553" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The anatomical and functional architecture of the human brain is mainly determined by prenatal transcriptional processes. We describe an anatomically comprehensive atlas of the mid-gestational human brain, including de novo reference atlases, in situ hybridization, ultra-high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and microarray analysis on highly discrete laser-microdissected brain regions. In developing cerebral cortex, transcriptional differences are found between different proliferative and post-mitotic layers, wherein laminar signatures reflect cellular composition and developmental processes. Cytoarchitectural differences between human and mouse have molecular correlates, including species differences in gene expression in subplate, although surprisingly we find minimal differences between the inner and outer subventricular zones even though the outer zone is expanded in humans. Both germinal and post-mitotic cortical layers exhibit fronto-temporal gradients, with particular enrichment in the frontal lobe. Finally, many neurodevelopmental disorder and human-evolution-related genes show patterned expression, potentially underlying unique features of human cortical formation. These data provide a rich, freely-accessible resource for understanding human brain development.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4105188/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4105188/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Miller, Jeremy A -- Ding, Song-Lin -- Sunkin, Susan M -- Smith, Kimberly A -- Ng, Lydia -- Szafer, Aaron -- Ebbert, Amanda -- Riley, Zackery L -- Royall, Joshua J -- Aiona, Kaylynn -- Arnold, James M -- Bennet, Crissa -- Bertagnolli, Darren -- Brouner, Krissy -- Butler, Stephanie -- Caldejon, Shiella -- Carey, Anita -- Cuhaciyan, Christine -- Dalley, Rachel A -- Dee, Nick -- Dolbeare, Tim A -- Facer, Benjamin A C -- Feng, David -- Fliss, Tim P -- Gee, Garrett -- Goldy, Jeff -- Gourley, Lindsey -- Gregor, Benjamin W -- Gu, Guangyu -- Howard, Robert E -- Jochim, Jayson M -- Kuan, Chihchau L -- Lau, Christopher -- Lee, Chang-Kyu -- Lee, Felix -- Lemon, Tracy A -- Lesnar, Phil -- McMurray, Bergen -- Mastan, Naveed -- Mosqueda, Nerick -- Naluai-Cecchini, Theresa -- Ngo, Nhan-Kiet -- Nyhus, Julie -- Oldre, Aaron -- Olson, Eric -- Parente, Jody -- Parker, Patrick D -- Parry, Sheana E -- Stevens, Allison -- Pletikos, Mihovil -- Reding, Melissa -- Roll, Kate -- Sandman, David -- Sarreal, Melaine -- Shapouri, Sheila -- Shapovalova, Nadiya V -- Shen, Elaine H -- Sjoquist, Nathan -- Slaughterbeck, Clifford R -- Smith, Michael -- Sodt, Andy J -- Williams, Derric -- Zollei, Lilla -- Fischl, Bruce -- Gerstein, Mark B -- Geschwind, Daniel H -- Glass, Ian A -- Hawrylycz, Michael J -- Hevner, Robert F -- Huang, Hao -- Jones, Allan R -- Knowles, James A -- Levitt, Pat -- Phillips, John W -- Sestan, Nenad -- Wohnoutka, Paul -- Dang, Chinh -- Bernard, Amy -- Hohmann, John G -- Lein, Ed S -- 5R24HD0008836/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R00 HD061485/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 MH092535/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R24 HD000836/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- RC2 MH089921/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- RC2MH089921/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Apr 10;508(7495):199-206. doi: 10.1038/nature13185.
