The rubber hand illusion (RHI) is a perceptual phenomenon in which participants experience ownership over a fake model hand through synchronous visuotactile stimulation. Several studies have shown that the illusion occurs only when both hands are in close proximity to each other. In the present study, we systematically examined the role of relative position (lateral, distal) and distance (13-75 cm) of the model hand (with respect to participants' real hand) on illusion experience across both lateral and distal positions. Furthermore, we also compared different facets of the subjective illusion experience; the experience of the model hand being part of one's body (i.e., ownership) and the perceptual fusion of vision and touch (i.e., referral of touch). In two experiments we observed indications for a stronger illusion experiences in distal compared to lateral positions of identical distances, indicating that the illusory effects may vary as a function of the relative position of the hand. Our results also showed that manipulations of distance differently modulated both facets of the illusion. While ownership was restricted to near distances, referral of touch sensations remained stable at farther distances. These results are interpreted in relation to variations in sensory weighting across different planes.

One of the largest and most significant transcription factor gene families in plants is the SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein (SBP) gene family and they perform critical regulatory roles in floral enhancement, fruit development, and stress resistance. The SBP protein family (also known as SPL) has not yet been thoroughly studied in the staple fruit crop, banana. A perennial monocot plant, banana is essential for ensuring food and nutrition security.

Longitudinal neuroimaging studies offer valuable insight into brain development, ageing, and disease progression over time. However, prevailing analytical approaches rooted in our understanding of population variation are primarily tailored for cross-sectional studies. To fully leverage the potential of longitudinal neuroimaging, we need methodologies that account for the complex interplay between population variation and individual dynamics.

ConspectusAromatic functionalization reactions are some of the most fundamental transformations in organic chemistry and have been a mainstay of chemical synthesis for over a century. Reactions such as electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (EAS and SAr, respectively) represent the two most fundamental reaction classes for arene elaboration and still today typify the most utilized methods for aromatic functionalization. Despite the reliable reactivity accessed by these venerable transformations, the chemical space that can be accessed by EAS and SAr reactions is inherently limited due to the electronic requirements of the substrate.

This article presents framework guidelines for the care of adolescent transgender (T) and non-binary (NB) individuals experiencing gender dysphoria (GD) and/or gender incongruence (GI). Developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel, these guidelines aim to address the complex medical, psychological, and social needs of this diverse population. The document emphasises the importance of individualised, affirmative care that respects the autonomy, identity, and rights of adolescents.

Objectives: To assess the frequency and yield of retinal examination in children below 2 years old undergoing abuse evaluations in the setting of skull fracture(s) and small underlying intracranial hemorrhage.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used CAPNET, a multicenter child physical abuse network, to identify children below 2 years with a skull fracture(s) and intracranial injury limited to an underlying small focal intracranial hemorrhage undergoing subspeciality child abuse evaluations. Our outcomes of interest were (1) the performance of a retinal examination, (2) the identification of retinal hemorrhages, and (3) associations of clinical factors and CAPNET site with the performance of retinal examinations.
