The understanding of the nature and extent of morphological processing is critical to the overall investigation of how words are organized in the mind. In this overview article, we discuss the nature of morphological processing and the domain of morphological processing research. We claim that investigations crucially involve the understanding of relations among morphologically simple and morphologically complex words, and sketch how specific questions of morphological processing within the 2004 special issue on the mental lexicon fall under these categories. Finally, we discuss issues of construct, content and ecological validity within the field and what morphological processing can reveal about the association of form and meaning in the mind.

Plant chloroplasts store starch during the day, which acts as a source of carbohydrates and energy at night. Starch granule initiation relies on the elongation of malto-oligosaccharide primers. In Arabidopsis thaliana, PROTEIN TARGETING TO STARCH 2 (PTST2) and STARCH SYNTHASE 4 (SS4) are essential for the selective binding and elongation of malto-oligosaccharide primers, respectively, and very few granules are initiated in their absence.

Water contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly naphthalene, is a serious environmental concern due to its persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. This study explores the adsorption behavior of naphthalene using organobentonite (OBt), synthesized by intercalating cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) into sodium bentonite (SBt) with varying cation exchange capacities (CECs). The effectiveness of OBt in naphthalene adsorption was evaluated by analyzing key parameters, including CEC, contaminant concentration, and contact time.

Alzheimers Dement

Cognitive Neuroscience Centre, University of San Andres, Victoria, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Background: Dementia impacts the way individuals perceive and describe everyday events. Alzheimer's disease (AD) notably affects processing of entities manifested by nouns, while behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) often presents a detached, third-person perspective. Yet, the potential of natural language processing tools (NLP) to detect these variations in spontaneous speech remains explored.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

NeuroXT, Seoul, Korea, Republic of (South).

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) hold significant clinical relevance, linked to elevated risks of hemorrhages, cognitive decline, and mortality. Notably, with the recent advancement in Alzheimer's treatments, the number of CMBs serves as a crucial safety indicators to assess the risk and occurrence of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities. However, the commonly utilized manual detection process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, prompting the development of various automated detection models.

Background: Several clinical guidelines and recommendations have been developed to improve the diagnostic process of patients with dementia, with the aim of optimising patient care and fostering a cost-effective use of resources. However, patient characteristics and organizational factors in clinical practice can lead physicians to deviate from recommendations. In this context, process mining (PM) is a powerful technique for evaluating the compliance of actual to ideal diagnostic pathways, but has never been used in the cognitive field.
