Although the mechanisms of molluscan shell growth have been studied using mathematical models, little is known about the molecular basis underpinning shell morphogenesis. Here, we performed Wnt activation experiments to elucidate the potential roles of Wnt signaling in the shell growth of Lymnaea stagnalis. In general, we observed following three types of shell malformations in both dose- and developmental stage-dependent manners: (i) cap-shaped shell, (ii) cap-shaped shell with hydropic soft tissues, and (iii) compressed shell with a smaller number of coiling. We analyzed the morphologies of these malformed shells using the growing tube model, revealing that the compressed malformations show significantly larger values for T (torsion), with no significant changes in the values for the remaining parameters E (expansion) and C (curvature). We also found that cap-shaped malformations have significantly larger values for E, suggesting that the effects of BIO on shell formation may change during growth. Since the changes in T and/or E parameter values can greatly alter the shell morphologies from a planispiral or a cap-shaped one to various three-dimensional helices, changes in shell developmental processes possibly controlled by Wnt signaling may account for at least a part of the evolution of diverse shell forms in molluscs.

COMET is an experiment at J-PARC that searches for the charged lepton flavor violating process of neutrino-less muon-to-electron conversion (μ→e conversion) in a muonic atom. The COMET Phase-I experiment, which represents the first stage of its staged approach, utilizes the cylindrical drift chamber (CDC) as the main detector to measure the momentum of electrons emitted from μ→e conversion in a 1 T magnetic field. The CDC is designed for optimal performance to achieve the best momentum resolution and effectively separate the μ→e conversion electron signal from background signals. This design entails adapting He:i-C4H10 (90:10) as its chamber gas and employing an all-stereo wire configuration. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the CDC detector, encompassing design considerations, mechanical structure, construction methodologies, and results of performance evaluations conducted using cosmic-rays.

<p>Theoretical linguistics has proposed different types of empty categories (ECs), i.e., unpronounced words with syntactic characteristics. ECs are a key to elucidating the computational system of syntax, algorithms of language processing, and their neural implementation. Here we examined the distinction between raising and control sentences in Japanese and whether ECs are psychologically real. We found two striking results by using a self-paced reading and a probe word recognition priming technique. First, we demonstrate that the reading times of raising and control sentences in Japanese were better explained by the linear mixed-effects model considering the differences of ECs, i.e., Copy and PRO. Secondly, we found a significant reactivation effect for raising and control sentences, which have ECs, and reflexive sentences without ECs. These results indicate that ECs are processed similarly to reflexive pronouns (e.g., himself). Based on these results, we conclude that raising and control sentences in Japanese have different ECs, i.e., Copy and PRO, and that ECs have psychological reality. Our results demonstrate that behavioral experiment based on theoretical linguistics, which is the first step for developing linking hypotheses connecting theoretical linguistics and experimental neuroscience, is indeed necessary for testing hypotheses proposed in theoretical linguistics.</p>

ABSTRACT

A wealth of correlational evidence suggests that Broca’s area (the left inferior frontal gyrus) plays a role in second language acquisition. With the use of highly focal non-invasive brain stimulation, evidence for a targeted brain region’s causal role in some cognitive behavior can be assessed. Over three sessions, each one week apart, we used online anodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) over Broca’s area during a novel foreign grammar training session. During training, participants who were naïve to Spanish were tasked with acquiring present tense conjugation rules for the three Spanish verb endings. In Session 1, we observed significant improvement in performance in two linguistic (reception and production) tasks but not in a non-linguistic (working memory) task. Sessions 2 and 3 were subject to a ceiling effect, which obscured any potentially long-lasting effects of the stimulation. We interpret these results as support for the idea that Broca’s area has languagelike specificity that is not limited to receptive or productive processes and as evidence that Broca’s area plays a causal role in foreign grammar acquisition.

ABSTRACT

Experimental psychology has long discussed the modality effect, whereby the stimulus modality significantly affects retention of the information presented. In neurolinguistics, however, the effect of stimulus modality on language processing has gained little attention. We conducted a multi-modal event-related potential (ERP) experiment on both native and non-native Spanish speakers to investigate the possibility of a neurophysiological modality effect in language processing. Using morphosyntactically violated and orthographically/phonologically violated stimuli, we elicited a robust N400 and P600 in native speakers. We showed that the N400 has consistent features across modalities, while the P600 has modality-specific features. Specifically, the auditory evoked P600 was characterized by a more gradual slope and a later peak than the visual evoked P600. We discuss this in detail along with other modality effects observed post sensory perception. Among second language (L2) learner groups, those with higher proficiency exhibited more nativelike neurophysiological responses in both modalities when compared to those with lower proficiency. We additionally observed fewer modality-specific differences in low proficiency learners than in higher proficiency learners suggesting that modality-specific specialization in language processing comes with increased proficiency. We further discuss the question of modality-specific differences in the process of neurophysiological nativization, whereby L2 learners’ ERPs become increasingly on nativelike.

Previous neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that neural activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) correlates with syntactic processing. However, as previous studies have only tested the correlation between left IFG activation and syntactic processing, the causal relationship has remained unclear. Using transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that modulates brain activation, we examine whether higher activation in the left IFG improves sentence comprehension in a native language (Japanese, Experiment 1) and a non-native language (Spanish, Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, the participants performed a sentence comprehension task using two types of Japanese sentences (active sentences: e.g., Taro-ga Hanako-o tataita (Taro hit Hanako); passive sentences: e.g., Hanako-ga Taro-ni tatakareta, (Hanako was hit by Taro)). They showed that reaction times for syntactically more complex passive sentences shortened, but not for simpler active sentences. In Experiment 2, the participants who were naïve to Spanish learned verb conjugations in Spanish during tES and performed verb conjugation and short-term memory tasks. We found higher task accuracy and shorter reaction times on the verb conjugation tasks but not on the short-term memory task. These results elucidate a causal relationship between the left IFG and language processing both in native and non-native languages.

Neurolinguistics is an interdisciplinary field of neuroscience and linguistics investigating the neural basis of language. Neurolinguistics emphasizes data from neuroimaging experiments and those from patients with language impairments. In this talk, I will explain experimental methods, including electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and noninvasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS), primarily focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Finally, I will introduce our recent neuroimaging and NIBS studies, which target the neural basis of morphological processing and second language learning.

Previous magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies reported that transition probability between morphemes (morphTP) was correlated with the amplitude of the activation in the left fusiform and inferior temporal gyri (L. FG/ITG) around 170 ms after the onset of visual stimuli (M170). However, it is difficult to examine whether the M170 is modulated by morphTP or transition probability between letters (letterTP). To dissociate the effects of morphTP and letterTP on the L. FG/ITG, we targeted the Japanese verbs, in which morphological boundaries do not always correspond to letter boundaries due to the Japanese kanji and kana writing system.
We recruited 22 right-handed native speakers of Japanese (nine males, 35.5±7.3 yrs.). We used 448 Japanese verbs, as well as the same number of nonwords (total 896 stimuli). The participants performed a visual lexical decision task. We used a 157-channel MEG system (KIT, Japan) for recording, and MEG-Python and Eelbrain packages for the MEG analyses. As our primary target was the M170, the region of interest was anatomically defined as the L. FG/ITG and the analysis time window was restricted to 50-250 ms after word onset.
We examined whether the M170 is modulated by morphTP or letterTP. We found a significant negative correlation of the morphTP (corrected p<0.03), whereas we did not find any significant correlation of the letterTP in this region. These results demonstrated that morphologically complex verbs in Japanese are indeed decomposed into morphemes, but not into letters, similar to morphologically complex words in English examined in the previous studies.
