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.
The innate response is surprisingly complex. A variety of soluble innate inhibitors in respiratory secretions provide an initial barrier to infection. Dendritic cells, phagocytes and natural killer cells mediate viral clearance and promote further innate and adaptive responses.verall, the optimal outcome would be that the innate response prevents dissemination of the virus without harmful inflammation and promotes effective adaptive responses that can clear the infection definitively and prevent future infections with the same viral strain (or even better, multiple viral strains).
