Amyloid-β (Aβ) plays a causative role in Alzheimer's disease. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is involved in Aβ accumulation, whereas occlusal disharmony increases Aβ production in the rat hippocampus. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of apoE deficiency and occlusal disharmony on Aβ production and spatial memory. Wild-type (WT) (n = 12) and apoE-deficient [ApoE(-/-)] (n =...

Harmony systems are often described in the linguistic literature in a highly schematic and somewhat idealized fashion. Further, instances of disharmony within harmony languages typically have been treated as exceptional or anomalous, rather than as a natural and expected part of the harmony system. In documenting several vowel harmony languages indigenous to Siberia, we found both highly patter...

We report six experiments on learnability of four non-adjacent phonotactic constraints which differ in their attested frequency and phonetic conditioning factors; liquid harmony, liquid disharmony, backness harmony, and backness disharmony. Our results suggest that such phonotactic constraints can be implicitly learned from brief experience and that learnability of a phonological grammar may be...
