متن کاملOn the acoustics of overlapping laughter in conversational speech
The social nature of laughter invites people to laugh together. This joint vocal action often results in overlapping laughter. In this paper, we show that the acoustics of overlapping laughs are different from non-overlapping laughs. We found that overlapping laughs are stronger prosodically marked than nonoverlapping ones, in terms of higher values for duration, mean F0, mean and maximum inten...
متن کاملInsulin and neurodegenerative disease: shared and specific mechanisms.
Insulin has functions in the brain and dysregulation of these functions may contribute to the expression of late-life neurodegenerative disease. We provide a brief summary of research on the influence of insulin on normal brain function. We then review evidence that perturbation of this role may contribute to the symptoms and pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheime...
