OSAKA, Japan, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Researchers from Osaka University found that genetics and the environment affect language-related brain activity equally.

Scientists examined brain activity in Japanese twins, both monozygotic, having 100 percent genetic similarity, and dizygotic, having 50 percent genetic similarity, to determine the influences on language-related activities in the left frontal area of the brain.
