Association of Vitamin B6 and Homocysteine–ACTH Coupling With Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Burning Mouth Syndrome: An Exploratory Case–Control Study

Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

No Geographic Correlation between Lyme Disease and Death Due to 4 Neurodegenerative Disorders, United States, 2001–2010

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Associations between Lyme disease and certain neurodegenerative diseases have been proposed, but supportive evidence for an association is lacking. Similar geographic distributions would be expected if 2 conditions were etiologically linked.
