Genetic architecture and neural circuits of language: A systematic review with qualitative synthesis of early-life language development

Key Points

• Language development is influenced by genetic architecture and neural circuits, pointing to early intervention needs.
• Findings indicate a significant link, with the review covering over 50 studies on early-life language capacities.
• Systematic review provides a qualitative synthesis of the genetic and neural influences on language acquisition.
• Implications for understanding language progress in children, highlighting a need for targeted educational strategies.
