    Notes: Abstract This paper reports two experiments which examined the effects of Parkinson's disease (PD) upon the sensorimotor mechanisms used to control prehension movements. Transport and grasp kinematics for visually-guided and memory-guided prehension movements were examined in healthy control subjects and compared against those of patients with idiopathic PD. Two research questions were addressed: (1) Are patients with PD particularly susceptible to distraction by non-relevant objects? (2) Are patients with PD especially reliant on external feedback when executing goal-directed actions? The results indicated that the patient group were no more susceptible to distraction by non-relevant objects than the control group. In contrast, the patients with PD were shown to be significantly, impaired when executing memory-guided reaches. Furthermore, the deficits exhibited by the PD group on memory-guided reaches were confined solely to those markers associated with the transport component of the prehension movement. That is, while both controls and patients with PD widened their grip aperture on memory-guided trials, the magnitude of this adjustment was comparable across the two groups. The implications of these findings for theories of visuomotor processing in sufferers of PD and the control of prehension movements more generally are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Reflexive saccades, remembered saccades, antisaccades, fixation and smooth pursuit were recorded in seven subjects with myotonic dystrophy (MD) and seven age-matched controls using the magnetic scleral search coil technique. Neuropsychological performance was assessed using the Wisconsin Card Sort Test and measures of verbal fluency. Subjects with MD showed significantly elevated error rates in the antisaccade and remembered saccade paradigms, consistent with prefrontal dysfunction, and these two measures of distractibility were significantly correlated with each other. Saccadic latencies, square wave jerk frequency, and smooth pursuit peak velocity gain showed no significant difference between the two groups, although the peak velocity of all classes of saccades was significantly reduced in patients with MD. These results extend the findings of previous studies of oculomotor function in MD, and provide novel evidence for a central contribution to abnormalities of eye movements in this condition.

    Notes: Abstract An important component of neuronal differentiation is the tightly controlled expression of a spectrum of ion channel proteins. Ion channels play a critical role in the generation and propagation of action potentials as well as in the cellular response to neurotransmitters, and thus are central in the transfer and integration of information in the nervous system. A model system amenable to analysis of ion channel expression and neuronal differentiation is the rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell line. Here, we have used electrophysiological and molecular biological approaches to analyze the expression of voltage-dependent sodium (Na) channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in mutagenized variants (nnr cells) of the PC12 cell line. Our data reveal striking differences in the expression of these channels when compared to wild-type PC12 cells. Even in the absence of nerve growth factor (NGF), nnr cells express functional Na channels and Na channel mRNA at levels exceeding those in wild-type PC12 cells differentiated with NGF. In contrast, acetylcholine-induced currents were evident in only a small proportion of cells, presumably due to the altered pattern of expression of mRNAs encoding individual nAChR subunits. The altered ion channel expression in these variants provides an avenue for analyzing Na channel and nAChR channel function, as well as for identifying mechanisms governing their expression.

    Notes: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) surveillance and intervention efforts are hampered by the lack of a specific biochemical test for diagnosis of the syndrome. Based on the hypothesis that abnormalities in growth and development (key features of FAS) involve altered protein metabolism, we analyzed serum proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and image analysis to search for potential protein biomarkers of FAS. Serum samples from 12 participants in whom FAS had been diagnosed and 8 sex- and age-matched participants whose mothers did not consume alcohol were analyzed in duplicate to determine whether the integrated intensities of matched proteins are significantly altered in children with FAS. Multiple hypothesis testing on 34 of the gels consisting of more than 1700 spots per gel revealed 21 proteins that we classified as potential protein biomarkers of FAS on the basis of significant t-test differences at p 〈 0.02. We classified 8 of the proteins as candidate biomarkers on the basis of significant concentration differences between case and control subjects at p 〈 0.01. One of the proteins is clearly an isoform of retinol binding protein; two appear in the area of the gel where alcohol dehydrogenase is expected to appear; one appears to be an isoform of alpha-1-antitrypsin; three appear to be isoforms of the beta-chain of haptoglobin; three may be forms of immunoglobulin light chains; and several others have not been associated with known proteins. No single protein differentiated all case subjects from control subjects, but stepwise canonical discriminant analyses revealed four groups of spots that distinguished between FAS case and control subjects with no misclassifications. Because of the small number of samples analyzed, we have not positively identified the proteins. It will be necessary to confirm our observations using additional samples before identifying each protein.
