Some Brain Cells 'Change Channels' To Fine-tune The Message
...s are most common in these particular cells in the cerebellum (so-called stellate cells). But Huganir thinks the channel changing is going to be relatively common in the brain.

...pression. For example, though the cerebrum and the cerebellum are two distinct parts of the brain, located apart from each other and doing very different jobs, their gene expression profiles reflected their commonality as part of the nervous system. Similarly, "muscle contraction" genes were found in skeletal m...Some Brain Cells Change Channels

... new here is that the researchers believe that the cerebellum may be involved in cognition and emotion. Previously, it's been assumed the role of this part of the brain was confined to control of movement.

This raises the intriguing possibility that these changes may actually cause sleep apnoea, rather than resulting from the condition. In other words, the condition may have its origins ......he maturation of neurons in the development of the cerebellum that is responsible for coordination of voluntary muscular movements like speech etc. Researchers are hopeful that this study may open ways for establishing links between the Foxp2 gene and autism in children.
