I see that the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is opening a new department on Language & Genetics. It will be the only department devoted to understanding the relation beween brain, language, and genetics. Now that's a big bite to chew.
Heading the department will be Simon Fisher, the star of the team that identified the FoxP2 gene and its relation to language. The Max Planck Institute is scattered over northern Europe. This department will be based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
