  2. Language processing in the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_processing_in_the...

    In the last two decades, significant advances occurred in our understanding of the neural processing of sounds in primates. Initially by recording of neural activity in the auditory cortices of monkeys [18] [19] and later elaborated via histological staining [20] [21] [22] and fMRI scanning studies, [23] 3 auditory fields were identified in the primary auditory cortex, and 9 associative ...

    The phonological retrieval system involved in speech repetition is the auditory phoneme perception system, and the visual letter perception system is the one that serves for reading aloud. [7] Communicative speech production entails a phase preceding phonological retrieval. Speech comprehension involves mapping sequences of phonemes onto word ...

  4. Aldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde

    Aldehyde structure. In organic chemistry, an aldehyde (/ ˈ æ l d ɪ h aɪ d /) is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure R−CH=O. [1] The functional group itself (without the "R" side chain) can be referred to as an aldehyde but can also be classified as a formyl group. Aldehydes are a common motif in many ...

  5. Adduct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adduct

    Compounds or mixtures that cannot form an adduct because of steric hindrance are called frustrated Lewis pairs. Adducts are not necessarily molecular in nature. A good example from solid-state chemistry is the adducts of ethylene or carbon monoxide of CuAlCl 4. The latter is a solid with an extended lattice structure.

  6. Insect pheromones - Wikipedia

    So-called anti-aphrodisiacs have exactly the opposite effect. Bedbug nymphs protect themselves with such a pheromone, which has a specific mixing ratio of the aldehydes ( E )-2-hexenal , ( E )-2-octenal and 4-oxo-( E )-2-hexenal , against mating attempts by male bedbugs.

  7. Nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid

    The code is read by copying stretches of DNA into the related nucleic acid RNA in a process called transcription. Within cells, DNA is organized into long sequences called chromosomes. During cell division these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication, providing each cell its own complete set of chromosomes.

  8. Origin of speech - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_speech

    Little is known about the timing of language's emergence in the human species. Unlike writing, speech leaves no material trace, making it archaeologically invisible. Lacking direct linguistic evidence, specialists in human origins have resorted to the study of anatomical features and genes arguably associated with speech production.

  9. Aldehyde dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldehyde_dehydrogenase

    Aldehyde dehydrogenase is a polymorphic enzyme [3] responsible for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. [3] There are three different classes of these enzymes in mammals: class 1 (low K m, cytosolic), class 2 (low K m, mitochondrial), and class 3 (high K m, such as those expressed in tumors, stomach, and cornea).
