Studies of perception have long shown that the brain adds information to its sensory analysis of the physical environment. A touchstone example for humans is language use: to comprehend a physical signal like speech, the brain must add linguistic knowledge, including syntax. Yet, syntactic rules and representations are widely assumed to be atemporal (i.

This study explores the impact of integrative complexity (IC) and syntactic complexity (SC) on decision-making under uncertainty. The research addresses how cognitive structures contribute to decision quality in ambiguous situations. A modified Ellsberg experiment was conducted using an online platform.

This paper introduces the Morphologically-Analyzed and Syntactically-Annotated Quran (MASAQ) dataset, a comprehensive resource designed to address the scarcity of annotated Quranic Arabic corpora and facilitate the development of advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. The Quran, being a cornerstone of classical Arabic, presents unique challenges for NLP due to its sacred nature and complex linguistic features. MASAQ provides a detailed syntactic and morphological annotation of the entire Quranic text, utilizing a rigorously verified text from Tanzil.

Epilepsies are complex neurological entities usually co-existing with neuropsychiatric comorbidities. We already demonstrated that microinjection of oxytocin (OT) into the central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) induces hypergrooming in Wistar rats, a model of compulsion. Furthermore, the Wistar Audiogenic Rat (WAR) strain is a genetic model of generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

This study examines the neural mechanisms behind integrating syntactic and information structures during sentence comprehension using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Focusing on Japanese sentences with canonical (SOV) and non-canonical (OSV) word orders, the study revealed distinct neural networks responsible for processing these linguistic structures. The left opercular part of the inferior frontal gyrus, left premotor area, and left posterior superior/middle temporal gyrus were primarily involved in syntactic processing.
