Striatal FOXP2 is essential for stable vocal production in non-human primates

2026-05-07

Abstract excerpt

The transcription factor FOXP2 is the most well-known language-related gene in humans, yet its role in primate vocalization remains poorly understood. Here we report that knockdown of FOXP2 in the striatum markedly disrupts vocalization stability in the marmoset monkey, a valuable non-human primate model for studying vocal behavior. FOXP2 exhibited high expression in the marmoset striatum, especially during early...
