Golgi and Cajal: The neuron doctrine and the 100th anniversary of the 1906 Nobel Prize

Novelties: New species discovered in the expedition to the Foja mountains of New Guinea include an as yet unnamed Callulops frog (top), an unnamed Albericus frog (middle), and a new bird, the smoky honeyeater (bottom). Researchers believe the mountains hold many more as yet unidentified species. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901 with a legacy from Alfred Nobel, the discoverer of dynam...

Cerebellar agenesis revisited.

New clinical and employment information, together with over-looked previously published information, on a patient (H.C.) is reviewed. H.C., who died at the age of 76 in 1939, was found, by chance during anatomical dissection, to lack a cerebellum. This synthesis challenges an unusual and interesting account of cerebellar agenesis published in Brain in 1994 by Glickstein (see also Glickstein, 20...

Mitch a rapidly evolving component of the Ndc80 kinetochore complex required for correct chromosome segregation in Drosophila.

We identified an essential kinetochore protein, Mitch, from a genetic screen in D. melanogaster. Mitch localizes to the kinetochore, and its targeting is independent of microtubules (MTs) and several other known kinetochore components. Animals carrying mutations in mitch die as late third-instar larvae; mitotic neuroblasts in larval brains exhibit high levels of aneuploidy. Analysis of fixed D....
