The shared genetic architecture and evolution of human language and musical rhythm.
Nat Hum Behav
November 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the genetic links between musical rhythm traits and language-related traits, particularly dyslexia, using data from large genetic samples.
- Researchers found 16 genetic regions that contribute to both rhythm impairment and dyslexia, indicating a shared biological foundation.
- The study suggests that the neural connections related to both rhythm and language processing may be influenced by genetics, offering insights into the evolutionary connections between music and language.

Twice-exceptionality is characterized as the presence of high performance concomitantly with deficiencies or incompatible conditions. An example is when giftedness manifest associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. This study is a clinical case report referring to the evaluative and interventional process of a 9- year-old child with the paradoxical combination of giftedness associated with dyslexia.

Purpose: To develop on intervention process to identify children at risk of dyslexia, based on the Response to Intervention model. Specifically, to identify the pattern of changes in post-intervention performance in tasks of phonological awareness, working memory, lexical access, reading and writing; and to analyze which cognitive functions had a significant effect on the discriminating students at risk of dyslexia.
Method: Sample of 30 participants with Reading and writing difficulties, aged 8-11, from public/private schools, students from 3rd to 5th grade.
A genome-wide association study of Chinese and English language phenotypes in Hong Kong Chinese children.
NPJ Sci Learn
March 2024
School of Biomedical Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Article Synopsis
- Dyslexia and developmental language disorders are significant learning challenges, but their genetic origins are largely unknown, with previous studies focused mainly on Europeans.
- This research conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 34 reading and language-related traits in Hong Kong Chinese bilingual children, involving a total of 1,046 participants, including twins and singletons.
- Five independent genetic loci were found to be significantly linked to various language and literacy skills, indicating a genetic basis for both Chinese and English abilities, with connections to educational attainment and cognitive performance.
Early life stress, literacy and dyslexia: an evolutionary perspective.

Stress and learning co-evolved in parallel, with their interdependence critical to the survival of the species. Even today, the regulation of moderate levels of stress by the central autonomic network (CAN), especially during pre- and post-natal periods, facilitates biological adaptability and is an essential precursor for the cognitive requisites of learning to read. Reading is a remarkable evolutionary achievement of the human brain, mysteriously unusual, because it is not pre-wired with a genetic address to facilitate its acquisition.
