An assessment of the measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect in the Earth gravity field, in reply to: ``On the measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect using the nodes of the LAGEOS satellites, in reply to ``On the reliability of the so far performed tests for measuring the Lense-Thirring effect with the LAGEOS satellites'' by L. Iorio,'' by I. Ciufolini and E. Pavlis [PDF]

, 2006
In this paper we reply to recent claims by Ciufolini and Pavlis about certain aspects of the measurement of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth.

Neural Representations of Grasp Congruence During the Emergence of Precision Grasping

Infancy, Volume 30, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Grasping is a fundamental skill that enables people to interface with and explore objects around them. The emergence of precision (thumb‐to‐forefinger) grasping during infancy represents a developmental shift in this skill and has been linked to more advanced action perception, particularly in detecting action incongruencies.

Fine‐Grained Concreteness Effects on Word Processing and Representation Across Three Tasks: An ERP Study

Psychophysiology, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT People process concrete words more quickly and accurately than abstract ones—the so‐called “concreteness effect.” This advantage also reflects differences in how the brain processes and stores concrete versus abstract words. In this electrophysiological study, we treated word concreteness as a continuous variable and examined its effects on ...

Neonatal hypoxia: impacts on the developing mind and brain

Frontiers in Cognition
This review examines the cognitive, emotional, and neurofunctional effects of neonatal hypoxia in both the short and long term. Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE) is a critical condition with profound and lasting effects on brain development

Altered Patterns of Dynamic Functional Connectivity Underpin Reduced Expressions of Social–Emotional Reciprocity in Autistic Adults

Autism Research, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 725-740, April 2025.
ABSTRACT To identify the neurocognitive mechanisms underpinning the social difficulties that characterize autism, we performed functional magnetic resonance imaging on pairs of autistic and non‐autistic adults simultaneously whilst they interacted with one another on the iterated Ultimatum Game (iUG)—an interactive task that emulates the reciprocal ...

Perspectives in measuring the PPN parameters beta and gamma in the Earth's gravitational fields with the CHAMP/GRACE models

, 2007
The current bounds on the PPN parameters gamma and beta are of the order of 10^-4-10^-5. Various missions aimed at improving such limits by several orders of magnitude have more or less recently been proposed like LATOR, ASTROD, BepiColombo and GAIA ...
