Cranes of the World: Japanese Crane (Grus japonensis)

Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) in the Japanese in Hokkaido may derive from a single common ancestry.

Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) is caused by expansion of an unstable CAG triplet repeat located on the short arm of chromosome 6. Precise mapping has shown a positional relationship to closely linked markers in the order of D6S109-D6S274-D6S288-SCA1-AM10GA-D6S89+ ++-EDN1 from centromere to telomere. The haplotype which cosegregated with the disease was determined in 12 Japanese pedigrees with ...

Note on Japanese Epistemic Verb Constructions: A Surface-Compositional Analysis

This paper offers a new analysis of the raising to object construction in Japanese. This has been extensively discussed following Kuno (1976) for the case where the matrix predicate is an epistemic verb. Under CCG analysis an o-marked phrase is a surfacecompositional object rather than a raised argument. This new approach correctly predicts the thetic and categorical judgments of epistemic verb...

GM1 gangliosidosis in a Japanese domestic cat: a new variant identified in Hokkaido, Japan.

A male Japanese domestic cat with retarded growth in Hokkaido, Japan, showed progressive motor dysfunction, such as ataxia starting at 3 months of age and tremors, visual disorder and seizure after 4 months of age. Finally, the cat died of neurological deterioration at 9 months of age. Approximately half of the peripheral blood lymphocytes had multiple abnormal vacuoles. Magnetic resonance imag...
