Aims: We provide evidence that the use of perfusion imaging reveals the neuroanatomical basis for a behaviourally demonstrated cognitive deficit that is not revealed via standard neuroradiological imaging techniques. Methods & Procedures: We present a case study of a 52-year-old female stroke survivor (16 years post onset) whose speech was fluent and grammatical with some word-finding difficult...

Machine Translation (MT) systems have historically relied upon explicit grammars in order to analyze the source text and reproduce it in the target language. In this paper, we argue for a style of MT in which the focus of processing is at the level of the lexicon, rather than the grammar. This approach to translation allows an analyzer to map source sentences into an interlingual form, which th...

An important task for evolutionary biology is to explain how phenotypes change over evolutionary time. Neo-Darwinian theory explains phenotypic change as the outcome of genetic change brought about by natural selection. In the neo-Darwinian account, genetic change is primary; phenotypic change is a secondary outcome that is often given no explicit consideration at all. In this article, we intro...
