Unlocking the Mysteries of Word Learning in Developmental Dyslexia

Imagine you’re trying to learn new words by associating them with pictures. Sounds simple, right? But for individuals with developmental dyslexia (DD), this language-learning challenge becomes more complex. A recent study explored the impact of DD on cross-situational word learning, which involves discovering word-referent mappings without explicit instructions. The results showed that young adults with […]

Synchronization in simplicial complexes of memristive Rulkov neurons

Simplicial complexes are mathematical constructions that describe higher-order interactions within the interconnecting elements of a network. Such higher-order interactions become increasingly significant in neuronal networks since biological backgrounds and previous outcomes back them. In light of this, the current research explores a higher-order network of the memristive Rulkov model. To that end, the master stability […]
