Full text linkThe ability to detect animates (as compared with inanimates) rapidly is advantageous for human survival. Due to its relevance, not only the adult human brain has evolved specific neural mechanisms to discriminate animates, but it has been proposed that selection finely tuned the human visual attention system to prioritize visual cues that signal the presence of living things. Among them, animate motion—i.e., the motion of animate entities -, is one of the most powerful cues that triggers humans’ attention. From a developmental point of view, whether such specialization is inborn or acquired through experience is a fascinating research topic. This mini-review aims to summarize and discuss recent behavioral and electrophysiological research that suggests that animate motion has an attentional advantage in the first year of life starting from birth. Specifically, the rationale underlying this paper concerns how attention deployment is affected by animate motion conveyed both by the movement of a single dot and, also, when the single dot is embedded in a complex array, named biological motion. Overall, it will highlight the importance of both inborn predispositions to pay attention preferentially to animate motion, mainly supported by subcortical structures, and the exposure to certain experiences, shortly after birth, to drive the cortical attentional visual system to become the way it is in adults

No full textThe prospect of intervening, through the use of a specific molecule, with a cellular alteration responsible for a disease, is a fundamental ambition of biomedical science. Epigenetic-based therapies appear as a remarkable opportunity to impact on several disorders, including cancer. Many efforts have been made to develop small molecules acting as inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACs). These enzymes are key targets to reset altered genetic programs and thus to restore normal cellular activities, including drug responsiveness. Several classes of HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) have been generated, characterized and, in certain cases, approved for the use in clinic. A new frontier is the generation of subtype-specific inhibitors, to increase selectivity and to manage general toxicity. Here we will discuss about a set of molecules, which can interfere with the activity of a specific subclass of HDACs: the class IIa
