Introduction: This study examined the potential interplay between motor development and intervention in support of action understanding.
Methods: Eighty nine-month-old infants completed a tool-use training session and goal imitation paradigm that assessed action understanding in counterbalanced order. A metric of motor development was obtained using the Early Motor Questionnaire.
Individual differences in how the brain responds to novelty are present from infancy. A common method of studying novelty processing is through event-related potentials (ERPs). While ERPs possess millisecond precision, spatial resolution remains poor, especially in infancy.

- Maize landraces in Northern Argentina exhibit high genetic diversity and are crucial for maize breeding, with 57 traditional races found in distinct regions facing various environmental challenges.
- The study utilized genome-wide SNP analysis to identify two main gene pools: highland northwestern maize (HNWA) and floury northeastern maize (FNEA), both showing signs of genetic erosion.
- Climate change projections indicate a significant reduction in potential planting areas for HNWA and a shift in FNEA cultivation, highlighting the vulnerability of these traditional maize varieties to environmental changes.
Introduction: The totally implantable active middle ear implant Esteem® may be considered an effective alternative to conventional hearing aids (cHAs) to manage moderate-to-severe forms of sensorineural hearing loss. This study aimed to provide long-term comparative data of Esteem performances with those achieved by cHA.
Methods: From a total of 46 subjects who received unilateral application of Esteem®, and were followed up over the years, ten underwent an audiological assessment that compared the outcomes with those achieved in the contralateral ear by a cHA, considering the initially symmetric auditory thresholds in both ears.
Aims: Reverse ventricular remodelling, defined as a decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume indexed to body surface area (LVESVI) or an increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods And Results: We evaluated paired core-lab assessed echocardiograms and measurements of 92 biomarkers at baseline and 8 months thereafter in 419 participants with HFrEF.
