The epicenter of linguistic behavior

Speaking, listening, reading, and reasoning all depend on common, fundamental aspects of linguistic structure. This common structure is defined by the grammar, and so Bever (1970) calls grammar ‘the epicenter of all language behavior’ in his pioneering study of how grammar and the structures it defines may relate to other cognitive abilities. Computational models with this perspective have beco...

Epigenetics at the epicenter of modern medicine.

Epigenetics, the study of non-DNA sequence-related heredity, is at the epicenter of modern medicine because it can help to explain the relationship between an individual's genetic background, the environment, aging, and disease. It can do so because the epigenetic state varies among tissues and during a lifetime, whereas the DNA sequence remains essentially the same. As cells adapt to a changin...

Exposure to rapid succession disasters: a study of residents at the epicenter of the Chilean Bío Bío earthquake.

We examined cumulative and specific types of trauma exposure as predictors of distress and impairment following a multifaceted community disaster. Approximately 3 months after the 8.8 magnitude earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent looting in Bío Bío, Chile, face-to-face interviews were conducted in 5 provinces closest to the epicenter. Participants (N = 1,000) were randomly selected using milita...

Background: Although hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance have been hypothesized to be involved in pancreatic carcinogenesis, studies that have examined glycemic load or individual dietary components that influence glucose concentrations yielded inconclusive results. Objective: Our objective was to investigate whether dietary insulin load and dietary insulin index are associated with the ris...
