Autism and mild epilepsy associated with a de novo missense pathogenic variant in the GTPase effector domain of DNM1

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

Hemispheric speech lateralisation in the developing brain is related to motor praxis ability

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2016
Commonly displayed functional asymmetries such as hand dominance and hemispheric speech lateralisation are well researched in adults. However there is debate about when such functions become lateralised in the typically developing brain.

Brain asymmetry and visual word recognition: do we have a split fovea? [PDF]

, 2012
In this chapter we discuss how the anatomical divide between the left and the right brain half has implications for visual word recognition. In particular, it introduces the need for massive interhemispheric communication. Unlike what was believed in the
