Understanding the distinction between conscious and unconscious cognition remains a priority
in psychology and neuroscience. A comprehensive neurocognitive account of conscious
awareness will not be possible without a ...
Investigating vulnerabilities in grammatical processing of bilinguals
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)
Bilinguals show a large gap in their expressive-receptive abilities, in both
languages. To date, most studies have examined lexical processing. The current
study aimed to assess comprehension and production of verb ...
Language proficiency does not modulate executive control in older bilinguals
(Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, 2019)
We examined if language proficiency modulates performance in tasks that measure executive control in older Telugu-English bilinguals (n = 50, mean age = 57.15 years). We administered numerical Stroop task, Attention Network ...
Basque-Spanish bilingual children’s expressive and receptive grammatical abilities
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)

The interest in renewable energies obtained from the resources availed in the ocean has increased during the last few years. However, the harsh atmospheric conditions in marine environments is a major drawback in the design ...
Mutations in LRRK2 impair NF-κB pathway in iPSC-derived neurons
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-18)
Background: Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) contribute to both familial and idiopathic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuroinflammation is a key event in neurodegeneration and aging, and there is ...
