Giving neural precursors the finger
pithelial cells zipper together thanks to linear actin cables—cables that assemble at newly formed adherens junctions to stabilize them, thereby counteracting retractive forces at sites of cell–cell contact. Now, Agnieszka Kobielak, Amalia Pasolli, and Elaine Fuchs (Rockefeller University, New York, NY) have found that formin-1 drives the actin polymerization that creates the cables. Formin-1 e...
متن کاملNeural correlates of finger gnosis.
Neuropsychological studies have described patients with a selective impairment of finger identification in association with posterior parietal lesions. However, evidence of the role of these areas in finger gnosis from studies of the healthy human brain is still scarce. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify the brain network engaged in a novel finger gnosis task, the in...
متن کاملNeural precursors of future liking and reciprocity
Why do certain group members end up especially liking each other more than others? The prediction of interpersonal attraction has been a longstanding pursuit in the social sciences. We combine functional MRI and longitudinal social network data to test whether newly acquainted group members’ reward-related neural responses to one another predict their future attractions after completing a summe...
متن کاملCulture of mouse neural stem cell precursors.
Primary neural stem cell cultures are useful for studying the mechanisms underlying central nervous system development. Stem cell research will increase our understanding of the nervous system and may allow us to develop treatments for currently incurable brain diseases and injuries. In addition, stem cells should be used for stem cell research aimed at the detailed study of mechanisms of neura...
متن کاملThe difference between "giving a rose" and "giving a kiss": Sustained neural activity to the light verb construction.
We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms associated with processing light verb constructions such as "give a kiss". These constructions consist of a semantically underspecified light verb ("give") and an event nominal that contributes most of the meaning and also activates an argument structure of its own ("kiss"). This creates a mismatch between the ...
