Washington, Nov 6: In a new study, researchers have discovered the first gene, called CNTNAP2, linked with a common childhood language disorder, known as specific language impairment (SLI).
The discovery of the CNTNAP2 gene, which has recently been implicated in autism, may act as a crucial genetic link between the two disorders.
SLI is the most common language disorder, in which children develop unexplained difficulties in producing and understanding language

Washington, Nov 6 : A new study has shown that climate change may be responsible for shrinking lemming populations in Norway.
Lemming populations throughout Scandinavia tend to explode naturally every three to five years, causing huge numbers to go in search of food.
Occasionally, this leads the rodents to jump into water and swim to new pastures, which is how the myth of lemmings committing mass suicide originated.
Washington, November 6: University of Pittsburgh researchers are apparently excited about the identification of a brain region that responds to more than one type of anti-psychotic drug, as the feel that it could expand the options for controlling schizophrenia.
The researchers say that their findings are the first to illustrate that the orbitofrontal cortex—a brain region responsible for cognitive activity such as decision making—could be a promising target for developing future antipsychotic drugs, even those that have very different mechanisms of action.
London, November 6: Blake Fielder-Civil failed to take wife Amy Winehouse’s ‘knickers down’ following his agreement to head to a rehab clinic for treatment for drug addiction.
The 26-year-old, who walked out Suffolk’s Edmunds Hill prison after serving 12 months of a 27-month jail sentence, was hoping to see his singer wife and wanted to ‘walk out straight into her arms’.
“I’m gonna see my wife and take her knickers down,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
