FROM WHERE TO WHAT: A NEUROANATOMICALLY BASED EVOLUTIONARY MODEL OF THE EMERGENCE OF SPEECH IN HUMANS [VERSION 2; REFEREES: 1 APPROVED, 2 APPROVED WITH RESERVATIONS]

From where to what: a neuroanatomically based evolutionary model of the emergence of speech in humans [version 2; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

In the brain of primates, the auditory cortex connects with the frontal lobe via the temporal pole (auditory ventral stream; Overshirt AVS) and via the inferior parietal lobe (auditory dorsal stream; ADS).The AVS is responsible for sound recognition, and the ADS for sound-localization, voice detection and integration of calls with faces.I propose t

Developmentally Regulated Post-translational Modification of Nucleoplasmin Controls Histone Sequestration and Deposition

Nucleoplasmin (Npm) is an abundant histone chaperone in vertebrate Overshirt oocytes and embryos.During embryogenesis, regulation of Npm histone binding is critical for its function in storing and releasing maternal histones to establish and maintain the zygotic epigenome.Here, we demonstrate that Xenopus laevis Npm post-translational modifications
