Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

1.0K
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Language and Cognition

441
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Concepts and Prototypes

224
The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

2.6K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

32.3K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Psychiatric informatics
  • Knowledge representation

Background:

  • Mental health research findings are fragmented across diverse studies and databases.
  • This fragmentation impedes comprehensive understanding and clinical application of mental health knowledge.
  • Existing resources lack the scale and contextualization needed for advanced analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a large-scale, contextualized knowledge graph (MDKG) for mental disorders.
  • To unify evidence from biomedical literature and curated databases using large language models.
  • To enable more nuanced interpretation and accelerate psychiatric research.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed MDKG using large language models to process biomedical literature and databases.
  • Incorporated over 10 million relations, including nearly 1 million novel associations.
  • Encoded contextual features like conditionality, demographics, and clinical attributes.

Main Results:

  • MDKG contains over 10 million relations, with nearly 1 million novel associations.
  • Structural encoding of contextual features enabled nuanced interpretation and expert validation, reducing evaluation time by up to 70%.
  • MDKG-enhanced representations significantly improved predictive performance for multiple mental disorders in UK Biobank data.

Conclusions:

  • MDKG provides a scalable, semantically enriched resource for mental health research.
  • The knowledge graph facilitates accelerated discovery and interpretable, data-driven clinical insights.
  • MDKG represents a significant advancement in integrating and leveraging complex mental health data.
