In the current study, we aimed to investigate the emotion recognition impairment in Huntington's disease (HD) patients and define whether this deficit is caused by impaired scanning patterns of the face. To achieve this goal, we recorded eye movements during a two-alternative forced-choice emotion recognition task. HD patients in pre-symptomatic (n = 16) and symptomatic (n = 9) disease stages were tested and th...
Matrix γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) protein (Mgp) is a vitamin K-dependent protein normally found associated with the organic matrix of cartilage and bone in vivo. After the discovery of Mgp in various soft tissues, this protein was proposed to act as a local inhibitor of mineralization although its molecular mechanisms of action remain incompletely understood.
The finding that patients with amnesia retain the ability to learn certain procedural skills has provided compelling evidence of multiple memory systems in the human brain, but the scope, defining features and ecological significance of the preserved mnemonic abilities have not yet been explored. Here, we tested the hypothesis that subjects with amnesia would be able to learn and retain a broad range of procedu...
