Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a debilitating neuropsychological syndrome that often follows brain injury, in particular a stroke …

Unilateral spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome, more frequent after damage to the right cerebral hemisphere, featuring an …

Spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome characterized by a failure to orient, perceive, and act toward the contralesional side …

In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of cerebellar involvement in emotion processing. Difficulties in the recognition of …

Unilateral spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome commonly observed after stroke and defined by the inability to attend or …

Neuroimaging studies suggest that understanding emotions in others engages brain regions partially common to those associated with more …

Patients with right-brain-lesion can show « hidden » forms of body disownership.Visual analogue scale is a novel tool to detect body disownership. A new form of body disownership is proposed, termed Covert disownership.

Spatial remapping implies the updating and maintaining of the spatial position of objects in successive visual images across time, …

Spatial neglect is a debilitating disorder frequently observed after damage to the right cerebral hemisphere. Previous investigations …

Prism adaptation is a well-known method used to investigate brain plasticity, and a promising technique for the rehabilitation of …

The symptoms of patients with left personal neglect are characterized by inattention towards contralesional (left) body parts while at …

Pain is inextricably linked to the body and, in the case of chronic pain, a primary health care problem, often associated with abnormalities in the central representation of painful body parts. Recent work in cognitive neuroscience showed that altering the central representation of the body through multisensory bodily inputs such as visuotactile in the rubber hand illusion or visuomotor during mirror therapy may be of relevance for the understanding and treatment of pain

Interoceptive signals, such as the heartbeat, are processed in a network of brain regions including the insular cortex. Recent studies …

Research in clinical and human neuroscience indicates that important brain mechanisms of self-consciousness are based on the …

OBJECTIVES. To investigate changes in body ownership and chronic neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) using …

Interoceptive signals modulate visual processing during specific time-windows. Brain activity is enhanced for body images shown in synchrony with the heartbeat. Fronto-temporo-parietal areas are linked to the cardiac effect on body processing.

The study assessed whether the auditory reference provided by a music scale could improve spatial exploration of a standard musical …

Right-brain-damaged patients may show a reading disorder termed neglect dyslexia. Patients with left neglect dyslexia omit letters on …

There is growing evidence that interoceptive signals conveying information regarding the internal state of the body influence perception and self-awareness. The insular cortex, which receives sensory inputs from both interoceptive and exteroceptive sources, is thought to integrate these multimodal signals. This study shows that cardiac interoceptive signals modulate awareness for visual stimuli such that visual stimuli occurring at the cardiac frequency take longer to access visual awareness and are more difficult to discriminate. Two fMRI experiments show that the insular region is sensitive to this cardio–visual synchrony even when the visual stimuli are rendered invisible through interocular masking. The results indicate a perceptual and neural suppression for visual events coinciding with cardiac interoceptive signals.

Recent evidence suggests that multisensory integration of bodily signals involving exteroceptive and interoceptive information …

Right-brain-damaged patients with unilateral spatial neglect are usually unaware (anosognosic) about their spatial deficits. However, …

This study investigates whether the rubber hand illusion (RHI) can induce a remission of somatoparaphrenia, a somatic delusion usually …

In recent years we reported three right-brain-damaged patients, who exhibited a left-sided disprortionate expansion of drawings, both …
