Advance In Mouse Model Of Angelman Syndrome
In the journal PLoS Biology, a team of scientists reports experiments showing how the gene defect of Angelman syndrome disrupts neurological processes that may be needed for memory and learning. In tests in mice, the team showed that a novel compound could restore the healthy processes. In a new study in mice, a scientific collaboration centered at Brown University lays out in unprecedented detail a neurological signaling breakdown in Angelman syndrome, a disorder that affects thousands of children each year, characterized by developmental delay, seizures, and other problems...

Pre-Dementia Linked to Ill Health
A large new study is highlighting a link between mild cognitive impairment, physical disability and psychological symptoms such as anxiety. As populations in low and middle-income countries are aging, rates of dementia are rising, say Dr. Robert Stewart of King’s College London, UK, and colleagues in the journal PLoS Medicine. Currently, more than 35 million people worldwide have dementia, the majority of which is Alzheimer’s disease. More than 115 million people may have dementia by the year 2050, with much of this rise occurring in low- and middle-income countries. “Mild cognitive impairment is a constr...

Sensory connection, interest/attention and gamma synchrony in autism or autism, brain connections and preoccupation
Abstract: Does motivational interest increase gamma synchrony across neuronal networking to enable computation of related sensory inputs that might lead to greater social understanding in autism spectrum conditions (ASC)? Meaning, is it possible/likely that in autism because individuals process one aspect of sensory input at any one time (therefore missing the wider picture in general) when they are motivated/interested or attending to particular stimuli their attention window is widened due to increased gamma synchrony and they might be enabled to connect in ways that do not occur when they are not motivated?
