© 2018 Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Yayınevi, İstanbul.The present study addresses whether adults with Broca’s aphasia who have damage in their Posterior Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (PLIFG) show similar performance to typically developing children in their processing of complex syntax. We tested comprehension of Turkish relative clauses using a sentence-picture matching task in Broca’s patients and children with typical development (aged: 3;04-4;03). Both groups showed better performance in subject relative clauses compared to object relative clauses. Children's similar performance to Broca's patients might be due to the fact that PLIFG is a late-maturing neural region. Our participants had more errors in object relative clauses despite the first referent was the agent so there was no evidence for the agent-first strategy. Poor performance in object relative clauses was linked to the morphosyntactic complexity in these structures.

Brief report: Autism in individuals with Down syndrome Starr, EM; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Tomlins, M; Papanikolaou, K; Rutter, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-10-01) As an off-shoot of a study examining the reliability and validity of an adapted version of the Pre-Linguistic Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (A-PL-ADOS), 13 individuals with Down syndrome with IQs ranging between 24 and 48 were administered the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the A-PL-ADOS, which are well-validated interview and observational diagnostic measures. Three out of 13 met lifetime criteria on the ADI-R, but none of these three showed behavior that met the criterion for aut...
Gene reordering and concurrency in genetic algorithms Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Department of Computer Engineering (2002) This study first introduces an order-free chromosome encoding to enhance the performance of genetic algorithms by learning the linkage of building blocks in non-binary encodings. The method introduces a measure called affinity which is based on the statistical properties of gene valuations in the population. It uses the affinity values of the local and global gene pairs to construct a global permutation with tight building block positioning. Method is tested and experimental results are shown for a group of...
Automated Negative Gene Ontology Based Functional Predictions for Proteins with UniGOPred Doğan, Tunca; Rifaioğlu, Ahmet Süreyya; Saidi, Rabi; Martin, Maria Jesus; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Atalay, Rengül (2018-07-07) Functional annotation of biomolecules in the gene and protein databases is mostly incomplete. This is especially valid for multi-domain proteins. There is a grey area in the protein function data resources, where the truly negative functions and the ones possessed by the protein but have not been discovered or documented yet (i.e. false negatives), reside together. In many cases the information about the functions absent from the target biomolecule can be as important as the assigned functions. It’s possibl...
Transcriptomic network analysis of brain aging and alzheimers disease Parvizi, Poorya; Somel, Mehmet; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Department of Biology (2017) Multiple studies have investigated aging brain transcriptomes to identify for age-dependent expression changes and determine genes that may participate in age-related dysfunction. However, aging is a highly complex and heterogeneous process where multiple genes contribute at different levels depending on individuals’ environments and genotypes. Both this biological heterogeneity of aging, as well as technical biases and weaknesses inherent to transcriptome measurements, limit the information gained from a s...
Exponential stability of periodic solutions of recurrent neural networks with functional dependence on piecewise constant argument Akhmet, Marat; Cengiz, Nur (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2018-01-01) In this study, we develop a model of recurrent neural networks with functional dependence on piecewise constant argument of generalized type. Using the theoretical results obtained for functional differential equations with piecewise constant argument, we investigate conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions, bounded solutions, and exponential stability of periodic solutions. We provide conditions based on the parameters of the model.
