However, some evolutionarily ancient mechanisms have been repurposed for grammar so that we can use insight from other taxa into possible circuit-level mechanisms of grammar. Drawing upon recent evidence for the importance of disinhibitory circuits across taxa and brain regions, I suggest a simple circuit that explains the acquisition of core grammatical rules used in 85% of the world's languages: grammatical rules based on sameness\/difference relations. This circuit acts as a sameness detector. \u201cDifferent\u201d items are suppressed through inhibition, but presenting two \u201cidentical\u201d items leads to inhibition of inhibition. The items are thus propagated for further processing. This sameness detector thus acts as a feature detector for a grammatical rule. I suggest that having a set of feature detectors for elementary grammatical rules might make language acquisition feasible based on relatively simple computational mechanisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn_a_01494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]],"date-time":"2019-11-04T18:52:22Z","timestamp":1572893542000},"page":"435-445","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Simple, Biologically Plausible Feature Detector for Language Acquisition"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Ansgar D.","family":"Endress","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"City, University of London"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"281","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022042815030032300_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Antell,  S.
