Patient Information about Epilepsy & Seizures. Epilepsy, or seizure disorder, is a chronic neurological condition caused by abnormal brain cell activity. Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizuresâhaving one seizure does not necessarily mean that a person has epilepsy.
(1971) â¢ Discriminability was measured by an increase in sucking rate toa second speech sound after habituation to the first sound. â¢ Recovery from habituation was greater when the two stimuli were from different adult phonemiccategories than when they were from the same category. Eimas et al.1971) reported that infants, like adults, demonstrate categorical ppp p perception for speech sounds. To explain this they proposed that infants are equipped with innate, speech-specific, phoneticfeature detectors tuned to the range of phonetic contrasts used in the worldâs languages.
Innate Immunity. The innate immune system is also known as the nonspecific immune system, which provides the first line of immunological defense against infection. The molecules and the receptors of the immune system provide a broad range of protection, so that it is also referred to as ânatural immunityâ. The response of the innate system is rapid while that of the adaptive immunity is slow (Over 1-2 weeks). â¢ The innate system has limited and lower potency. In contrast, the adaptive system has high potency. â¢ The innate system recognizes a broad range of pathogens, but it cannot make fine distinctions.
