Effect of second language exposure on brain activity for language processing among preschoolers.

abstract：:TDP-43 pathology in motor neurons is a hallmark of ALS. In addition, the reduced expression of an RNA editing enzyme, adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2), increases the expression of GluA2 with an unedited Q/R site in the motor neurons of patients with sporadic ALS. As the occurrence of these two disease-speci...
