A role for Shugoshin in human cilia?
We have recently described a novel role for the conserved centromeric/kinetochore protein and cohesin protector, Shugoshin, in cilia of C. elegans. Worms are unusual in that the sole Shugoshin protein ( SGO-1 ) is dispensable for chromosome segregation but required for cilia function in fully differentiated sensory neurons. Depletion of sgo-1 leads to an array […]
sut-2 loss of function mutants protect against tau-driven shortened lifespan and hyperactive pharyngeal pumping in a C. elegans model of tau toxicity.
Expression of human tau in C. elegans neurons causes progressive, age-associated loss of motor coordination, selective neurodegeneration, and shortened lifespan. Loss of function (LOF) mutations in the conserved gene sut-2 protects against progressive motor uncoordination and neurodegeneration in models of tauopathy. To determine whether sut-2 LOF also protects against shortened lifespan of tau transgenic C. […]

Modulating the activity of right temporoparietal junction increased belief-based learning in an economic game. 7 December 2023
Decision making is fundamental to social and economic behavior in the presence of other competing intelligent agents. Such decisions require agents to learn about available rewards and punishments (involving reinforcement learning) and also to anticipate what opponents intend to do (involving belief-based learning). However, the neural mechanisms underlying belief-based learning are relatively poorly understood. To […]

Brain Sciences, Vol. 14, Pages 512: Parafoveal Processing of Orthography, Phonology, and Semantics during Chinese Reading: Effects of Foveal Load 18 May 2024
The foveal load hypothesis assumes that the ease (or difficulty) of processing the currently fixated word in a sentence can influence processing of the upcoming word(s), such that parafoveal preview is reduced when foveal load is high. Recent investigations using pseudo-character previews reported an absence of foveal load effects in Chinese reading. Substantial Chinese studies […]
