The present investigation examined the functioning of inhibitory mechanisms in younger and older bilinguals using a bilingual version of the Stroop test. The study predicted different patterns of age related decline in inhibitory mechanisms (inter- and intralingual interference) in bilinguals depending on their level of proficiency. Consistent with expectations, older bilinguals were slower whe...

In this paper, we analyse cross-linguistic variation of discourse phenomena, i.e. coreference, discourse relations and modality. We will show that contrasts in the distribution of these phenomena can be observed across languages, genres, and text production types, i.e. translated and non-translated ones. Translations, regardless of the method they were produced with, are different from their so...

The geniculate ganglion, which provides innervation to taste buds in the anterior tongue and palate, is unique among sensory ganglia in that its neurons depend on both neurotrophin-4 (NT4) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for survival. Whereas BDNF is additionally implicated in taste axon guidance at targeting stages, much less is known about the guidance role of NT4 during targetin...
