The Featurally Underspecified Lexicon (FUL) theory predicts that [coronal] is the language universal default place of articulation for phonemes. This assumption has been consistently supported with adult behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) data; however, this underspecification claim has not been tested in developmental populations. The…[Read more]

We found that following sepsis i) gliogenesis is increased, ii) the absolute number of radial glia-like cells (type 1 cells), which are considered the putative stem cells, is significantly reduced, iii) the generation of new neurons is not significantly altered, while iv) the synaptic spine maturation of new neurons is impaired with a shift to…[Read more]

Field observations suggest that reduced fungicide sensitivity exists in field populations of Podosphaera aphanis, the causal agent of strawberry powdery mildew (SPM). SPM is one of the most common diseases in strawberry production and is controlled using foliar fungicide applications. This study characterizes the sensitivity of 19 P. aphanis…[Read more]

Cerebellar stellate cells (CSCs) are spontaneously active, tonically firing (5-30 Hz), inhibitory interneurons that synapse onto Purkinje cells. We previously analyzed the excitability properties of CSCs, focusing on four key features type I excitability, non-monotonic first-spike latency, switching in responsiveness and runup (i.e., temporal…[Read more]
