Axo-glial interactions result in a highly segregated distribution of membrane proteins, defining distinct domains of the axolemma. The mechanisms leading to the enrichment of Na+ channels and associated proteins at the nodes of Ranvier, as well as those involved in the formation of paranodal axo-glial junctions, have been extensively investigated (for review see Girault and Peles, 2002). In contrast, hardly anything is known about the basis for the accumulation of specific proteins, including potassium channels, at juxtaparanodes. The present work demonstrates the critical role of TAG-1 for the enrichment of axonal proteins Caspr2 and Kv1.1/Kv1.2 in juxtaparanodal regions, and points out unexpected molecular similarities in axo-glial interactions at paranodes and juxtaparanodes.. Despite the lack of major ultrastructural or functional alterations of myelinated fibers in TAG-1-deficient mice, a detailed analysis revealed that the normal distribution of the known molecular components of the ...

N2 - Axo-glial junctions (AGJs) play a critical role in the organization and maintenance of molecular domains in myelinated axons. Neurexin IV/Caspr1/paranodin (NCP1) is an important player in the formation of AGJs because it recruits a paranodal complex implicated in the tethering of glial proteins to the axonal membrane and cytoskeleton. Mice deficient in either the axonal protein NCP1 or the glial ceramide galactosyltransferase (CGT) display disruptions in AGJs and severe ataxia. In this article, we correlate these two phenotypes and show that both NCP1 and CGT mutants develop large swellings accompanied by cytoskeletal disorganization and ...

There have been anecdotes of brain injury patients suddenly understanding a language they have never spoken before, but what about the ability to play an instrument and make music? One family from Colorado says their son, Lachlan Connors, attributes his new found musical ability entirely on a concussion.. The 17-year-old junior has always been fond of music, but his talent wasnt always evident. ABC News says Connors went to a small number of piano lessons as a small child, but when his mother asked the teacher if her son was talented the answer was a blunt No. He didnt attempt to play an instrument again, until the events of one day changed Lachlan Connors life.. In the sixth grade Connors was knocked unconscious during a game of football. When he quickly came to, everyone assumed Connors was going to be okay. The football game resumed with Connors and everything went as normal for the next couple of days. But, soon the young boy started to experience feelings of déjà vu and panic, as ...

As per UK government guidelines, property that is in the process of being constructed or adapted for use as a dwelling will be in scope of the charge. Disposals of building land will be outside the scope of the extended CGT charge until such time as a residential building is under construction.. Where a building is demolished, the resultant land will be regarded as building land irrespective of what structure may subsequently be constructed. The period of carrying out works to demolish a dwelling or convert it to a non-residential use will be regarded as a period of non-residential use, provided that any necessary planning consent for the works has been given and the taxpayer completes the works prior to the effective completion of the disposal. Further, where, for reasons connected with a conversion or demolition, a dwelling is unoccupied immediately prior to the works being performed, that period will also be regarded as a non-residential period. Where the works are not completed, the building ...

Learning the piano is no simple task. The organization of white and black keys may be easily explained, but developing the auditory and motor skills to reproduce Beethovens symphony requires more than an understanding of musical notes and notation. The key to music is practice. Repetition over time can turn most novice musicians into a force to be reckoned with, but what is really going on?. Your brain is changing.. Brain plasticity is the ability of our brains to wire according to our experiences. Every new experience induces a series of neural firings. As the saying goes, neurons that fire together, wire together. All this is very general, but it is a great foundation for more specific investigations. Music is a great place to start.. Musical ability requires a unique set of abilities. A musician must be able to hear a beat, recognize a tune, pull apart the structures of a stanza, and creatively sew together tones, melodies and bridges. In addition, their fingers need to be adept at taking ...

The band itself delivered a workaday if enthusiastic performance distinguished only by lead singer Waleed Mansours strong vocals. The set was predictably eclectic and drawn mostly from the play list of a traditional British pub band, including the mandatory No Woman No Cry complete with backing singers swaying in a synchronised Rita Marley manner. T-shirts and other goodies were dispensed to the crowd who were in raptures, but it was altogether a disconcerting experience to watch Armani-clad pre-pubescent youngsters rocking out to Blue Suede Shoes. While it is clear that there exists both a strong interest in rock/pop music and talented individuals with the musical ability to knock out covers, something appears to go wrong in the creative process when it comes to original music. As a result the music scene is limited to bands such as the dormant Track 6 and the omnipresent Westelbalad, both of which perform original material, and a plethora of cover bands who ensure that Led Zeppelin, Pink ...

To explore the readiness of living, untested first-degree relatives (FDRs) to have cascade genetic testing (CGT) for a hereditary predisposition to cancer. Adults with a hereditary predisposition to cancer completed an anonymous, online survey about their genetic testing and their FDRs vital status, awareness of the variant, uptake of CGT, and readiness for CGT among living, untested FDRs using transtheoretical model stages of change. One hundred fifty participants completed the survey and reported 825 FDRs. Overall, 70.3% of FDRs were reportedly aware of the variant and 30.5% had completed CGT. Siblings had higher rates of awareness and CGT than parents or children (p | 0.001). Relatives sex was associated with awareness and CGT; mothers were aware and had CGT at higher rates than fathers (p = 0.049 and p | 0.001), sisters were aware and had CGT at higher rates than brothers (p = 0.041 and p = 0.002), and daughters had higher rates of awareness than sons (p = 0.038).

HSGAG and CSGAG modified proteoglycans first begin with a consensus Ser-Gly/Ala-X-Gly motif in the core protein. Construction of a tetrasaccharide linker that consists of -GlcAβ1-3Galβ1-3Galβ1-4Xylβ1-O-(Ser)-, where xylosyltransferase, β4-galactosyl transferase (GalTI),β3-galactosyl transferase (GalT-II), and β3-GlcA transferase (GlcAT-I) transfer the four monosaccharides, begins synthesis of the GAG modified protein. The first modification of the tetrasaccharide linker determines whether the HSGAGs or CSGAGs will be added. Addition of a GlcNAc promotes the addition of HSGAGs while addition of GalNAc to the tetrasaccharide linker promotes CSGAG development.[5] GlcNAcT-I transfers GlcNAc to the tetrasaccahride linker, which is distinct from glycosyltransferase GlcNAcT-II, the enzyme that is utilized to build HSGAGs. EXTL2 and EXTL3, two genes in the EXT tumor suppressor family, have been shown to have GlcNAcT-I activity. Conversely, GalNAc is transferred to the linker by the enzyme GalNAcT ...

I direct the Harvard Music Lab, where we ask what music is, how music works, and why music exists. Our research draws on ideas and tools from psychology, data science, evolutionary anthropology, and music. For example, in the Natural History of Song project, we investigate the perceptual and cultural building blocks of music worldwide. In music perception experiments, we ask what people understand about the music they hear, even when that music is from foreign cultures, and how music listening affects their emotions and health. In work with infants and parents, we study the impacts of music on daily life. We are also interested in how musical ability varies across different people and different societies, including rare musical impairments, like tone-deafness. You can try these experiments at https://themusiclab.org.

INTRODUCTION. Krabbe disease (DK) is a lysosome deposit disease caused by the deficiency of the enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC). It was first described in 1916, when Krabbe reported an uncommon form of familial diffuse brain sclerosis(1). GALC is responsible for the hydrolysis of galactolipids (lipid components of the myelin membrane). The main galactolipids are galactocerebrosides and psychosine(2). Galactocerebrosides are also hydrolyzed by GM1-gangliosidase and do not degrade psychosine; therefore, there is a greater accumulation of this substance. Psychosine is the primary component responsible for the destruction of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, which produce myelin, resulting in demyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems; additionally, it causes activation of astrocytes and the formation of multinucleate globoid cells (macrophages with accumulations of galactocerebrosides), characteristics of the disease in the pathological examination(3).. There are two clinical ...

The use of intracarotid propofol procedure (IPP) when assessing musical lateralization has not been reported in literature up to now. This procedure (similar to Wada Test) has provided the opportunity to investigate not only lateralization of language and memory functions on epileptic patients but also offers a functional mapping approach with superior spatial and temporal resolution to analyze the lateralization of musical abilities. Findings in literature suggest that musical training modifies functional and structural brain organization. We studied hemispheric lateralization in a professional musician, a 33 years old woman with refractory left medial temporal lobe epilepsy. A longitudinal neuropsychological study was performed over a period of 21 months. Before epilepsy surgery, musical abilities, language and memory were tested during IPP by means of a novel and exhaustive neuropsychological battery focusing on the processing of music. We used a selection of stimuli to analyze listening, score

John Felice will always be best known as the beer-fueled, hot-wired frontman for Boston proto-punks the Real Kids, but that bands work didnt represent the full range of his musical abilities, and in 1987, with the Kids temporarily on the rocks, Felice offered fans another look at himself with his short-lived solo project, John Felice & the Lowdowns. With the Lowdowns, Felice wrote tough but thoughtful songs about broken hearts, busted lives, and the dark side of life in rock & roll, and he put ten of them on wax with the album Nothing Pretty. But for an album that dealt so strongly with lives gone wrong, it was sadly appropriate that the album died before it ever had a chance -- it was released by Ace of Hearts the same day their distributor went bankrupt, which prevented nearly the entire press run from ever reaching stores. Its a shame that it has taken 16 years for the album to finally get a proper release in the United States (thanks to longtime Real Kids boosters Norton Records), but a ...

On their sophomore release, The Story So far have progressed their musical ability and sound as a band. What You Dont See is a logical progression musically from their previous release, which is a breathe of fresh air for listeners who feel like bands change their sound too much between albums. This record is an honest confession by vocalist Parker Cannon and how he feels. Unlike many bands in the pop punk genre who sing about generic break-ups and skateboarding, The Story So Far provide a genuine and personal feel about how it feels to be in a band at their level of success, while also singing about love and loss that listeners can relate to. The Story So Far are swiftly rising in popularity in this new wave of pop punk bands including The Wonder Years and Man Overboard. After the release of their previous album, Under Soil & Dirt, this band has blown up in this scene and listening to their sophomore album it is easy to tell that this is not a fluke ...

Studying the function and malfunction of genes and proteins associated with inherited forms of peripheral neuropathies has provided multiple clues to our understanding of myelinated nerves in health and disease. Here, we have generated a mouse model for the peripheral neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4H by constitutively disrupting the mouse orthologue of the suspected culprit gene FGD4 that encodes the small RhoGTPase Cdc42-guanine nucleotide exchange factor Frabin. Lack of Frabin/Fgd4 causes dysmyelination in mice in early peripheral nerve development, followed by profound myelin abnormalities and demyelination at later stages. At the age of 60 weeks, this was accompanied by electrophysiological deficits. By crossing mice carrying alleles of Frabin/Fgd4 flanked by loxP sequences with animals expressing Cre recombinase in a cell type-specific manner, we show that Schwann cell-autonomous Frabin/Fgd4 function is essential for proper myelination without detectable primary contributions ...

save the weasel from Pop goes the Queen.. Some very famous individuals have been virtually completely tone deaf and include Ulysses S Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and Che Guevara. Grant once said to a reporter: I only know two tunes. One of them is Yankee Doodle and the other isnt. Indeed, music apparently annoyed him. It seems that some individuals are congenitally impaired in being able to distinguish and respond to music and songs and this can be quite independent of language ability. This condition has been termed Congenital amusia and is suggested to be a developmental disorder similar to a specific language disorder such as dyslexia.. It is thought that this condition primarily affects the organisation and functioning of the auditory cortex itself in the brain and this is why its effects are so wide ranging. The assumption is that this is a genetic disorder which, if true, would lend considerable support to the argument that musical ability is adaptive rather than some kind of ...

Language, intelligence, and humor, along with art, generosity, and musical ability, are often described as human equivalents of the peacocks tail. However, peacocks afford a poor analogy for the role of courtship displays in humans. Other animal models offer a better fit. In a number of nonhuman species - species as diverse as sea dragons and grebes - males and females engage in a mutual courtship dance, in which the two partners mirror one anothers movements. In Clarks grebes and Western grebes, for instance, the pair bond ritual culminates in the famous courtship rush: The male and female swim side by side along the top of the water, with their wings back and their heads and necks in a stereotyped posture. If we want a nonhuman analogue for the role of creative intelligence or humor in human courtship, we should think not of ornamented peacocks displaying while drab females evaluate them. We should think instead of grebes engaged in their mating rush or sea dragons engaged in their ...
