Sex‐specific reproductive investment and survival of Atlantic salmon kelts across multiple dams
Abstract In adult Atlantic salmon, individual variation in migration and movement within rivers during spawning (i.e., reproductive movement, RM) is an important component of overall reproductive investment that may influence subsequent survival and repeat spawning.

From Synapses to Circuits, the Role of KIBRA and the WWC Family in Adaptive Brain Function
KIBRA (WWC1) has been the subject of scientific interest since its initial association with nonpathological variation in human memory performance. This review discusses subsequent work in animal models demonstrating that KIBRA supports memory function.

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Abstract As our understanding of genetic risk and the availability of genetic testing increases, consideration of the psychological impact of living at risk for an autosomal dominant neurological condition (ADNC) becomes more pertinent. A systematic search of PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Web of Science was run to identify studies exploring the psychological ...

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a polyglutamine (polyQ) neurogenerative disorder that results from CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions in the ATXN3 gene, leading to toxic protein aggregate formation and cellular pathway dysfunction.

Juvenile‐onset Huntington's disease – Spectrum and evolution of presenting movement disorders
Juvenile‐onset Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare subset of HD with symptom‐onset before the age of 18. In contrast to the adult population, children present early‐on with behavioral, psychiatric, and cognitive symptoms, in addition to a diverse ...

Early-onset Huntington's disease (HD) occurs in approximately 10% of HD's cases. We report juvenile HD in phenotypically identical twins, evaluated by history, clinical and neurologic examination, mini-mental state examination, blood laboratory exams ...

We have previously shown that exon 1 of the huntingtin gene does not always splice to exon 2 resulting in the production of a small polyadenylated mRNA (HTTexon1) that encodes the highly pathogenic exon 1 HTT protein.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder that affects the striatum most severely. However, except for juvenile forms, relative preservation of the cerebellum has been reported.

Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals
Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...
