Investigates how the frontal aslant tract affects language in primates, suggesting insights into human speech evolution.
By investigating the frontal aslant tract (FAT) and its extended networks across non-human and human primates, we aim to establish how the possible inter-species variances may explain the emergence of human speech, and in turn to predict specific language deficits following lesions/degeneration in different FAT portions.
