We have made one mouse that carries a mutation that is associated with stuttering in humans, and we have a number of mouse lines under construction, each of which carries a different human stuttering mutation. Making one such mouse, I should note, takes about a year if all goes well. Mouse vocal communication is largely ultrasonic and is poorly characterized, but we're actively working on this, and we hope to know the results from some of our mice soon.
