in the neocortex

calcified cystic tumors that arise from remnants of Rathke's pouch (embryonic precuros
of the anterior pituitary)

What are the two major microtubular motor proteins? Which does anterograde axonal

Characteristic triad of ataxia telangiectasia? - ANSWER - cerebellar ataxia,
telangiectasias, increased risk of sinopulmonary infections

What is the biochemical problem in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome? (And, only if you got that
right, what are the really cool symptoms of it?) - ANSWER - Defective purine
catabolism, so buildup of purines. It's an X-linked recessive disorder with mutated
HGPRT gene (hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, if you want to impress
people).

Now, if you got HGPRT and purine catabolism right, you can say: self-mutilating
behavior on top of mental retardation, choreoathetoid (think Chorea) movements and
spasticity.

Failure of what process leads due neural tube defects? What can be seen in the
