Reply to: The Furcal Nerve Revisited

They reported It is formed by ventral and dorsal rami of L1-L4 nerve roots with contribution from 12th thoracic nerve (i.e. subcostal nerve). After the anterior rami of the upper four lumbar nerves have supplied psoas and quadratus lumborum segmentally, they form the pleksus in the substance of psoas major.2,3 Juliana Farny et al. reported The lumbar plexus originated from the first four lumbar...

DDH Epidemiology Revisited: Do We Need New Strategies?

Background: Although the developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is well known to pediatric orthopedists, its etiology has still remained unknown and despite dedication of a vast majority of research, the results are still inadequate and confusing. The exact incidence of DDH and its relationship with known risk factors in Iran is still unknown. Here we represent the results of one year study o...

Communication Strategies Revisited: Looking beyond Interactional and Psycholinguistic Perspectives

Second language (L2) communication strategies (CSs) have traditionally been dealt with through either interactional or psychological perspectives. However, this paper is a critical attempt to question the status of the particular kinds of psycholinguistic and interactional approaches that currently dominate the field of second language acquisition (SLA). In this way, it expands the significance...

Aphasia revisited: A reply to Buckingham, Kertesz, and Marshall

SD-squared revisited: reply to Coltheart, Tree, and Saunders (2010).

The connectionist triangle model of reading aloud proposes that semantic activation of phonology is particularly important for correct pronunciation of low-frequency exception words. Our consideration of this issue (Woollams, Lambon Ralph, Plaut, & Patterson, 2007) reported computational simulations demonstrating that reduction and disruption of this semantic activation resulted in the marked d...
