Motor deficits in homozygous and heterozygous p/q-type calcium channel mutants.

Abstract:

:P/Q-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCCs) are highly expressed in the cerebellum, and mutations of these channels are associated with disrupted motor function. Several allelic variants of the alpha1A pore-forming subunit of P/Q-type VDCCs have been described, and mice homozygous for these mutations exhibit gait ataxia, as do alpha1A knockout mice. Here we report that heterozygous alpha1A mutants also have a motor phenotype. Mice heterozygous for the leaner and alpha1A knockout mutations exhibit impaired motor learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), suggesting that subtle disruption of P/Q Ca(2+) currents is sufficient to disrupt motor function. Basal VOR and optokinetic reflex performance were normal in the heterozygotes but severely impaired in the leaner and alpha1A knockout homozygotes.

  • Human 8- to 10-Hz pulsatile motor output during active exploration of textured surfaces reflects the textures' frictional properties.

    abstract::Active sensing in biological system consists of emitting/receiving a periodic signal to explore the environment. The signal can be emitted toward distant objects, as in echolocation, or in direct contact with the object, for example, whisking in rodents. We explored the hypothesis that a similar mechanism exists in hu...
