Motor Learning: The FoxP2 Puzzle Piece
Mutation of the DNA-binding region of the FOXP2 protein causes an inherited language disorder. A recent study provides the first data on mice with this mutation, which exhibit deficits in motor-skill learning and abnormal properties of neural circuits that contribute to these skills.
متن کاملFoxp2 Mutations Impair Auditory-Motor Association Learning
Heterozygous mutations of the human FOXP2 transcription factor gene cause the best-described examples of monogenic speech and language disorders. Acquisition of proficient spoken language involves auditory-guided vocal learning, a specialized form of sensory-motor association learning. The impact of etiological Foxp2 mutations on learning of auditory-motor associations in mammals has not been d...
متن کاملAnother piece in the puzzle
Pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury is complex and involves many cell types and mechanisms of action. Van Putte and coworkers have attempted to provide insight into and describe some of the complex components of this process. Their study describes two new components of the multifaceted process of reperfusion injury. The time-dependent course of neutrophil activation and the discovery of progr...
متن کاملAnother piece of the meiosis puzzle
M the process by which the ovary and testis produce haploid gametes from initially diploid cells, is essential for sexual reproduction in mammals. This process, initially described in the late 19th and early 20th century using model organisms such as sea urchins, worms and fruit flies, continues to attract extensive interest from reproductive biologists due to its centrality in gametogenesis. T...
متن کاملAnother Piece of the p27Kip1 Puzzle
How extracellular signals communicate with the cell cycle is poorly understood. In this issue, two papers address this problem by reporting phosphorylation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 on a tyrosine residue by nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which decreases p27 stability. This new mechanism could explain how cells enter the cell cycle from a quiescent state.
