Attentional engagement in letter-like shape learning.

Recent studies suggest that letter representations are based on a multimodal network linking the graphic motor programs acquired through handwriting to the visual representations. Moreover, the graphic motor programs are assumed to contribute to letter recognition. This assumption is based on the finding that learning symbols through handwriting leads to better recognition than learning through typing.

Phosphate ion transport in rabbit brain synaptosomes.

Synaptosomes (vesicles of nerve endings) isolated from rabbit brain were studied as a model system for the uptake of inorganic phosphate. The phosphate uptake showed a sodium-dependent, saturable component with a Kt of 0.29 mM.
