Aim: Praxis assessment in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is usually based on tests of adult apraxia, by comparing across types of gestures and input modalities. However, the cognitive models of adult praxis processing are rarely used in a comprehensive and critical interpretation. These models generally involve two systems: a conceptual system and a production system. Heterogeneity of deficits is consistently reported in DCD, involving other cognitive skills such as executive or visual-perceptual and visuospatial functions. Surprisingly, few researches examined the impact of these functions in gestural production. Our study aimed at discussing the nature and specificity of the gestural deficit in DCD using a multiple case study approach.Method: Tasks were selected and adapted from protocols proposed in adult apraxia, in order to enable a comprehensive assessment of gestures. This included conceptual tasks (knowledge about tool functions and actions; recognition of gestures), representational (transitive, intransitive), and non-representational gestures (imitation of meaningless postures). We realized an additional assessment of constructional abilities and other cognitive domains (executive functions, visual-perceptual and visuospatial functions). Data from 27 patients diagnosed with DCD were collected. Neuropsychological profiles were classified using an inferential clinical analysis based on the modified t-test, by comparison with 100 typically developing children divided into five age groups (from 7 to 13 years old).Results: Among the 27 DCD patients, we first classified profiles that are characterized by impairment in tasks assessing perceptual visual or visuospatial skills (n = 8). Patients with a weakness in executive functions (n = 6) were then identified, followed by those with an impaired performance in conceptual knowledge tasks (n = 4). Among the nine remaining patients, six could be classified as having a visual spatial/visual constructional dyspraxia. Gestural production deficits were variable between and within profiles.Discussion: This study confirmed the heterogeneity of gestural production deficit among children with a diagnosis of DCD, at both intra- and inter-individual levels. The contribution of other cognitive deficits in most of the profiles allows discussing the specificity of gestural difficulties. This argues in favor of the necessity to distinguish gestural problems with other deficits made apparent through gesture.

Cognitive and behavioral disorders are thought to be a result of neuronal dysfunction, but the underlying molecular defects remain largely unknown. An important signaling pathway involved in the regulation of neuronal function is the cyclic AMP/Protein kinase A pathway. We here show an essential role for coronin 1, which is encoded in a genomic region associated with neurobehavioral dysfunction, in the modulation of cyclic AMP/PKA signaling. We found that coronin 1 is specifically expressed in excitatory but not inhibitory neurons and that coronin 1 deficiency results in loss of excitatory synapses and severe neurobehavioral disabilities, including reduced anxiety, social deficits, increased aggression, and learning defects. Electrophysiological analysis of excitatory synaptic transmission in amygdala revealed that coronin 1 was essential for cyclic-AMP-protein kinase A-dependent presynaptic plasticity. We further show that upon cell surface stimulation, coronin 1 interacted with the G protein subtype Gαs to stimulate the cAMP/PKA pathway. The absence of coronin 1 or expression of coronin 1 mutants unable to interact with Gαs resulted in a marked reduction in cAMP signaling. Strikingly, synaptic plasticity and behavioral defects of coronin 1-deficient mice were restored by in vivo infusion of a membrane-permeable cAMP analogue. Together these results identify coronin 1 as being important for cognition and behavior through its activity in promoting cAMP/PKA-dependent synaptic plasticity and may open novel avenues for the dissection of signal transduction pathways involved in neurobehavioral processes.

In this work, two different studies are examined to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intervention program for the improvement of reading ability in children with dyslexia, known as repeated reading with vocal music masking (RVM). The proposed remedial approach is inspired by Breznitz's original work. The studies assess a 5-week program of intensive RVM training in a pre-post-test clinical paradigm, as well as a longitudinal paradigm where it is compared to 8 months of the standard remediation program (SRP). The results of both studies support the efficacy of the newly proposed RVM method. Notably in the longitudinal study, the reading speed of children, as well as related phonological, visuo-attentional, and cognitive skills, and attitudes toward reading, were measured regularly. Significant improvements in reading efficiency and related skills were observed, as well as greater motivation to read after RVM training. A modeling of the data specifically linked executive and processing speed skills to be involved in RVM training, suggesting that RVM may help rebalance the phonological and orthographic coding procedures necessary for efficient reading. The short, intensive, and focused nature of RVM training makes it a viable and attractive intervention for clinical practice. As preliminary results are promising, RVM training may prove to be a valuable tool that clinicians can call upon to effectively treat reading fluency disorders, especially when standard programs do not provide results.

Inositol polyphosphates are vital metabolic and secondary messengers, involved in diverse cellular functions. Therefore, tight regulation of inositol polyphosphate metabolism is essential for proper cell physiology. Here, we describe an early-onset neurodegenerative syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in the multiple inositol-polyphosphate phosphatase 1 gene (MINPP1). Patients are found to have a distinct type of Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia with typical basal ganglia involvement on neuroimaging. We find that patient-derived and genome edited MINPP1−/− induced stem cells exhibit an inefficient neuronal differentiation combined with an increased cell death. MINPP1 deficiency results in an intracellular imbalance of the inositol polyphosphate metabolism. This metabolic defect is characterized by an accumulation of highly phosphorylated inositols, mostly inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), detected in HEK293 cells, fibroblasts, iPSCs and differentiating neurons lacking MINPP1. In mutant cells, higher IP6 level is expected to be associated with an increased chelation of intracellular cations, such as iron or calcium, resulting in decreased levels of available ions. These data suggest the involvement of IP6-mediated chelation on Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia disease pathology and thereby highlight the critical role of MINPP1 in the regulation of human brain development and homeostasis., Tight regulation of inositol polyphosphate metabolism is essential for proper cell physiology. Here, the authors describe an early-onset neurodegenerative syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in the MINPP1 gene, characterised by intracellular imbalance of inositol polyphosphate metabolism.

Inositol polyphosphates are vital metabolic and secondary messengers, involved in diverse cellular functions. Therefore, tight regulation of inositol polyphosphate metabolism is essential for proper cell physiology. Here, we describe an early-onset neurodegenerative syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in themultiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase 1gene (MINPP1). Patients were found to have a distinct type of Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia with typical basal ganglia involvement on neuroimaging. We found that patient-derived and genome editedMINPP1-/-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are not able to differentiate efficiently into neurons. MINPP1 deficiency results in an intracellular imbalance of the inositol polyphosphate metabolism. This metabolic defect is characterized by an accumulation of highly phosphorylated inositols, mostly inositol hexakiphosphate (IP6), detected in HEK293, fibroblasts, iPSCs and differentiating neurons lacking MINPP1. In mutant cells, higher IP6level is expected to be associated with an increased chelation of intracellular cations, such as iron or calcium, resulting in decreased levels of available ions. These data suggest the involvement of IP6-mediated chelation on Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia disease pathology and thereby highlight the critical role of MINPP1 in the regulation of human brain development and homeostasis.

International audience; The present study investigated the nature and specificity of the gestural deficit in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Performance of children with DCD is compared with that of typically developing children across tasks and conditions that allow exploring distinct levels hypothesized by adult models of praxis processing. These models generally involve a conceptual system and a production system. Within this theoretical framework, the study analyzed the extent to which the gestural difficulties of children with DCD are related to a deficit of the production system. Considering the heterogeneity of deficits consistently reported in DCD, we also examined whether gestural difficulties of children with DCD could imply impairments on other cognitive functions (executive functions, visual-perceptual, and visuospatial functions). Thirty children with DCD were compared to 30 typically developing children. The DCD group exhibited a deficit in most of the gesture production tasks (with the exception of representational intransitive ones), with impaired visuospatial skills. When controlling for a measure of visuospatial skill, differences between groups remained significant only for representational transitive gestures. This dysfunction could neither be related to a semantic deficit, nor to an impairment of sensorimotor knowledge. Therefore, if the contribution of a visuospatial dysfunction allows discussing the specificity of gestural deficit, this does not appear to explain the overall gestural deficit. We suggest an explanation of the finding within the assumption of a production-system deficit.

- Abstract
A ce jour, il n’existe pas d’outil de mesure valide permettant aux enseignants de classes de CE1 de reperer de maniere collective les enfants susceptibles de developper un trouble specifique des apprentissages. La presente etude vise donc a combler ce manque psychometrique en evaluant le reperage des enfants a risque par REPER-CE1, un outil specialement mis au point pour couvrir l’ensemble des domaines cognitifs susceptibles d’interferer avec les apprentissages. Quatre-vingt-dix-sept eleves ont effectue ce test. Ils ont ensuite ete soumis a la passation d’epreuves similaires tirees de la batterie EDA (nouvelle BREV). D’apres les analyses statistiques realisees, REPER-CE1 permet aux enseignants d’effectuer un reperage des difficultes de lecture et de graphisme. Il permet egalement l’observation du niveau global de l’enfant sur la base de ses scores total et verbal. Les enseignants peuvent egalement s’appuyer sur le questionnaire joint au test et sur l’epreuve Copie de Phrases qui ont montre des qualites correlationnelles et de predictibilite interessantes. En revanche, les epreuves phonologiques et visuo-attentionnelles se sont revelees trop faciles ou trop differentes des epreuves d’EDA pour discriminer les enfants faibles des autres enfants. Enfin, les epreuves de phonologie sont remises en question, car leur realisation en classe entiere ne permet pas d’obtenir des resultats exploitables.

Partial duplications of the short arm of the X chromosome are relatively rare and have been described in males and females. We describe a 4 10/12-year-old girl presenting with developmental delay, severe language retardation and minor anomalies with slightly elevated head circumference (+1.8 SD), prominent forehead, wide palpebral fissures and anteverted nares. No pigmentary dysplasia of the skin was present. The external genitalia were normal. The karyotype completed by cytogenetic analysis with the Whole Chromosome Painting probe of chromosome X revealed a de novo partial duplication of the short arm of an X chromosome. In order to further characterize the duplicated segment, we used a series of BAC probes extending from band Xp11.22 to Xp22.1. BACs from Xp11.23 to Xp11.4 were duplicated. The karyotype was finally defined as 46,X,dup(X)(p11p11).ish dup(X)(p11.23p11.4)(WCPX+,RP11-416I6++,RP11-386N14++,RP11-466C12++). The X-inactivation status was studied using the human androgen receptor (HUMARA) and the FRAXA locus methylation assay. Unexpectedly, the two X chromosomes were found to be randomly inactivated, in the proband. Indeed, usually, in women with structurally abnormal X chromosome, the abnormal X chromosome is preferentially inactivated and those patients share an apparent normal phenotype. So, we speculate that in the present case, the phenotype of the patient could be explained by a functional disomy of the genes present in the duplicated region. We will discuss the possible implication of these genes on the observed phenotype.

The evolutionarily conserved protein coronin 1 is needed for activating the cyclic AMP signaling pathway in the brain and is important for cognition and behavior., Cognitive and behavioral disorders are thought to be a result of neuronal dysfunction, but the underlying molecular defects remain largely unknown. An important signaling pathway involved in the regulation of neuronal function is the cyclic AMP/Protein kinase A pathway. We here show an essential role for coronin 1, which is encoded in a genomic region associated with neurobehavioral dysfunction, in the modulation of cyclic AMP/PKA signaling. We found that coronin 1 is specifically expressed in excitatory but not inhibitory neurons and that coronin 1 deficiency results in loss of excitatory synapses and severe neurobehavioral disabilities, including reduced anxiety, social deficits, increased aggression, and learning defects. Electrophysiological analysis of excitatory synaptic transmission in amygdala revealed that coronin 1 was essential for cyclic–AMP–protein kinase A–dependent presynaptic plasticity. We further show that upon cell surface stimulation, coronin 1 interacted with the G protein subtype Gαs to stimulate the cAMP/PKA pathway. The absence of coronin 1 or expression of coronin 1 mutants unable to interact with Gαs resulted in a marked reduction in cAMP signaling. Strikingly, synaptic plasticity and behavioral defects of coronin 1–deficient mice were restored by in vivo infusion of a membrane-permeable cAMP analogue. Together these results identify coronin 1 as being important for cognition and behavior through its activity in promoting cAMP/PKA-dependent synaptic plasticity and may open novel avenues for the dissection of signal transduction pathways involved in neurobehavioral processes., Author Summary Memory and behavior depend on the proper transduction of signals in the brain, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Coronin 1 is a member of a highly conserved family of proteins, and although its gene lies in a chromosome region associated with neurobehavioral dysfunction in mice and men, it has never been directly ascribed a specific function in the brain. Here we show that coronin 1 plays an important role in cognition and behavior by regulating the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway. We find that when cell surface receptors are activated, coronin 1 stimulates cAMP production and activation of protein kinase A. Coronin 1 deficiency resulted in severe functional defects at excitatory synapses. Furthermore, in both mice and humans, deletion or mutation of coronin 1 causes severe neurobehavioral defects, including social deficits, increased aggression, and learning disabilities. Strikingly, treatment with a membrane-permeable analogue of cAMP restored synaptic plasticity and behavioral defects in mice lacking coronin 1. Together this work not only shows a critical role for coronin 1 in neurobehavior but also defines a role for the coronin family in regulating the transmission of signals within cells.

La dysgraphie fait graviter autour d’elle de nombreux intervenants et est fréquemment associée à d’autres troubles ou profils cognitifs. Ainsi, quel est l’état actuel de la prise en charge des dysgraphies ? Afin de répondre à cette question, nous avons consulté, par voie de questionnaires, les centres de référence pour les troubles du langage et des apprentissages (CERTLA) et les professionnels de la prise en charge. Nous avons analysé et comparé leurs réponses. Nous retenons que les psychomotriciens, en lien avec les ergothérapeutes, agissent le plus souvent auprès des patients dysgraphiques. Les orthophonistes interviennent plus rarement et ne rééduquent pas toujours l'écriture lorsqu'un trouble spécifique du langage écrit est associé. Pourtant, des corrélations, démontrées par de nombreux chercheurs, existent entre l’écriture, la lecture et le langage, justifiant la prise en charge de la dysgraphie. Les graphothérapeutes, professionnels non paramédicaux et non réglementés, sont peu connus des autres intervenants. Les échanges et la collaboration entre les professionnels demeurent nécessaires. Un dépliant informatif à destination des parents a été réalisé afin de tendre vers une meilleure orientation et prise en charge des enfants dysgraphiques.

Les troubles « dys » comme la dyspraxie, la dyslexie, la dysorthographie et la dysgraphie sont fréquemment associés chez un même enfant. Le diagnostic de dyspraxie nécessite une évaluation pluridisciplinaire alors que le diagnostic de dyslexie, symptôme le plus souvent situé en première ligne est évoqué par l’orthophoniste. L’écueil étant des années d’errance diagnostique, un échec scolaire et une perte de l’estime de soi, il est important d’améliorer l’évaluation de ces troubles associés à la dyslexie. Face à cette comorbidité de plus en plus évidente, comment s’interroger sur la présence d’une dyspraxie associée à la dyslexie au cours d’une évaluation orthophonique ? Quels marqueurs peuvent justifier d’une évaluation pluridisciplinaire ? Afin de répondre à ces questions nous avons étudié les bilans de langage écrit et les anamnèses d’enfants scolarisés au CE2, CM2 et en 6ème répartis en trois groupes. Nous avons comparé des populations d’enfants dyspraxiques présentant un trouble spécifique de l’acquisition du langage écrit avec une population d’enfants dyslexiques non dyspraxiques et une population d’enfants dyspraxiques non dyslexiques. Après analyse des résultats, nous retenons six constatations caractérisant les enfants dyspraxiques. Tout d’abord, on note une altération du balayage visuel et une prépondérance des confusions visuelles de mots lors de la lecture d’un texte. La vitesse de lecture des pseudomots et mots isolés atteint un seuil pathologique alors que l’identification peut être efficiente. Troisièmement, on relève l’altération de l’utilisation de la voie phonologique par l’atteinte des processus phonologiques de base. Nous constatons une possible compensation des difficultés d’identification par l’utilisation de la voie lexicale, lorsque les capacités verbales sont supérieures à la moyenne. Cinquième constatation, on remarque la présence d’une dysgraphie caractérisée. Enfin, il ressort une lenteur pathologique constante plus importante chez les enfants dyspraxiques. A l’anamnèse, nous retenons des questions clés dans les domaines des habiletés motrices, des activités de la vie quotidienne et des stades moteurs.Nous espérons que ces éléments aideront les orthophonistes à participer davantage au repérage de ces enfants dyspraxiques, à améliorer leur diagnostic, et ainsi à leur apporter des prises en charge adaptées à leurs spécificités.

De nos jours, le typage des dyslexies développementales est un sujet encore très discuté entre les chercheurs de la conception unitaire et pluraliste. Alors que d’un point de vue unitaire, le trouble phonologique reste la cause principale du trouble de la lecture, le point de vue pluraliste considère l’existence d’un trouble cognitif visuo-attentionnel sous-jacent indépendant du trouble phonologique. Ce trouble visuo-attentionnel se manifesterait par une réduction de l’empan visuel et par l’utilisation de la voie d’assemblage empêchant alors la constitution du stock orthographique. Selon les dernières recherches, ce trouble visuo-attentionnel serait à l’origine des dyslexies de surface et pourrait se retrouver dans les dyslexies mixtes.Après avoir mis en évidence les troubles cognitifs sous-jacents phonologique et visuo-attentionnel et étudié leurs répercussions sur la lecture oralisée, les stratégies de lecture et la lecture silencieuse, nous avons tenté de préciser le type de dyslexie selon le(s) trouble(s) cognitif(s) sous-jacent(s) présent(s) chez 27 sujets dyslexiques. Puis, un entraînement spécifique des processus cognitifs sous-jacents altérés a permis d’apprécier les bénéfices obtenus en lecture chez 6 patients dyslexiques suivis en cabinet libéral.Au terme de cette étude, nous constatons : premièrement, que 52% de notre population présente un trouble de l’empan visuo-attentionnel, d’où la nécessité d’une évaluation systématique, deuxièmement, que l’évaluation des processus cognitifs phonologique et visuo-attentionnel permet de préciser le diagnostic des dyslexies et d’orienter le projet thérapeutique orthophonique et, troisièmement, qu’une remédiation spécifique de ces déficits entraîne une amélioration des troubles de la lecture. Intervenir sur les troubles cognitifs sous-jacents, c’est-à-dire les causes, permettrait donc d’améliorer les mécanismes de lecture, c’est-à-dire les symptômes.

La dysphasie est un trouble spécifique du développement du langage qui touche 1% des enfants scolarisés. Les troubles liés à la dysphasie vont gêner les apprentissages de l’enfant alors même que l’entrée à l’école primaire est synonyme d’entrée dans les apprentissages fondamentaux. L’objectif de notre mémoire est de montrer que, malgré la volonté des pouvoirs publics d’intégrer ces enfants en école ordinaire, les modalités d’intégration ne sont pas encore optimales. Il est alors important de définir un travail en partenariat entre les professeurs des écoles et les orthophonistes, autour d’un projet et d’un support de travail commun. Grâce à l’envoi de questionnaires aux professeurs des écoles primaires et des orthophonistes des Alpes-Maritimes ayant déjà accueilli un enfant dysphasique, nous avons pu dresser un état des lieux en recueillant leurs connaissances, représentations et attentes. Après analyse des réponses, nous avons mis en évidence une réelle demande de cohérence et de partenariat entre ces deux professions. Aussi, un protocole visant à coordonner et définir les interventions de chacun en établissant des modalités de collaboration serait nécessaire pour optimiser l'intégration scolaire en milieu ordinaire de ces enfants.
