How can you use “lahn” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Research groups, including those led by Lahn, neurologist Christopher Walsh (Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, United States), and clinical geneticist Geoffrey Woods (University of Leeds, United Kingdom), wondered whether the genes that cause microcephaly, an inherited human disorder in which brain size is greatly reduced, might include genes involved in human brain evolution.

  • Lahn is also searching for additional candidate genes that might help to explain how our brains evolved.

  • “Even in the ape lineage, the brain has been expanding but along the human lineage it has really taken off”, says Lahn.

  • Both Lahn and Walsh believe that ASPM and microcephalin may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to genes that have helped to shape our brains.

  • Protein evolution rates are particularly high in the lineage leading from ancestral primates to humans, notes Lahn, “so some of these genes may regulate brain size and behaviour”.
