Me estoy dando cuenta de que aunque tengo muchos problemas de motricidad fina (no se si por #apraxia no diagnosticada, o por mi #epilepsia o lo que sea) me gustaria cada vez mas hacer mas cosas manuales como #crochet del que no sé nada de nada o #dibujo que tengo la capacidad de un niño de infantil o escribir mas a mano o hacer fanzines impresos en lugar de tanto PC etc.

Lo tengo comprobando con la #fotografia cuando estoy con mi camara estoy en otro mundo mucho mas silencioso, amable, lento, y real.

After a #stroke some people may experience communication difficulties. Please be tolerant of those that seem to have issues.

Is #Dyspraxia aka #DevelopmentalCoordinationDisorder called #Apraxia in the US?

Please boost as I struggling to understand if these are the same thing, just named differently?

Scientists discover how mutations in a language gene produce speech deficits

Mutations of a #gene called #Foxp2 have been linked to a type of speech disorder called #apraxia that makes it difficult to produce sequences of sound.

A new study from MIT and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University sheds light on how this gene controls the ability to produce speech.

In a study of mice, the researchers found that #mutations in Foxp2 disrupt the formation of dendrites and neuronal synapses in the brain’s #striatum, which plays important roles in the control of movement.

Mice with these mutations also showed impairments in their ability to produce the high-frequency sounds that they use to communicate with other mice.

Those malfunctions arise because Foxp2 mutations prevent the proper assembly of #motor #proteins, which move molecules within cells, the researchers found.
