In particular, the links to AD, PD, and HD pathologies but also diverse connections to the affected neuron types and brain regions substantiate the importance of FOXP2 for dopaminergic wiring and neurodegeneration (see Discussion for details; also, e.g., Reimers-Kipping et al., 2011; Hilliard et al., 2012; Devanna et al., 2014; Pfenning et al., 2014; Schreiweis et al., 2014). The gene discussed is FOXP2; the disease is Parkinson disease.
