Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience have allowed us to begin investigating the development of both structure and function in the infant brain. However, despite the rapid evolution of technology, surprisingly few studies have examined the intersection between brain and behaviour over the first
## Abstract The small heat shock protein Hsp27 is a molecular chaperone and an antiβapoptotic protein. Human Hsp27 has one cysteine residue at position 137. We investigated the role of this cysteine residue in the chaperone and antiβapoptotic functions of Hsp27 by mutating the cysteine residue to a
