  • Structure of the cGMP-gated channel

  • Daniel D. Oprian
  • Journal:
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences / Volume 18 / Issue 3 / September 1995
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 February 2010, pp. 482-483

  • The subunit structure of the cGMP-gated cation channel of rod photoreceptors is rapidly being defined, and in the process the mode of regulation by Ca2+-calmodulin unraveled. Intriguingly, early results suggest that additional subunits of unknown function are associated with the channel and remain to be identified.

  • What we have to explain in foreign language learning

  • Robert Bley-Vroman
  • Journal:
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences / Volume 19 / Issue 4 / December 1996
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 February 2010, p. 718

  • While child language development theory must explain invariant “success,” foreign language learning theory must explain variation and lack of success. The fundamental difference hypothesis (FDH) outlines such a theory. Epstein et al. ignore the explanatory burden, mischaracterize the FDH, and underestimate the resources of human cognition. The field of second language acquisition is not divided into camps by views on “access” to UG.

  • Behavioral effects of neural grafts: Action still in search of a mechanism

  • Michael L. Woodruff
  • Journal:
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences / Volume 18 / Issue 1 / March 1995
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 February 2010, pp. 75-76

  • This commentary reviews data supporting circuitry reconstruction, replacement neurotransmitters, and trophic action as mechanisms whereby transplants promote recovery of function. Issue is taken with the thesis of Sinden et al. that adequate data exist to indicate that reconstruction of hippocampal circuitry damaged by hypoxia with CA1 transplants is a confirmed mechanism whereby these transplants produce recovery. Sinden et al.'s and Stein & Glasier's proposal that there is definitive evidence showing that all transplants produce trophic effects is also questioned.

  • The correspondence metaphor: Prescriptive or descriptive?

  • Darryl Bruce
  • Journal:
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences / Volume 19 / Issue 2 / June 1996
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    04 February 2010, pp. 194-195

  • Koriat & Goldsmith's abstract correspondence metaphor is unlikely to prove useful to memory science. It aims to motivate and inform the investigation of everyday memory, but that movement has prospered without it. The irrelevance of its competitor – the more concrete storehouse metaphor – as a guiding force in memory research presages a similar fate for the correspondence perspective.
