Multisensory Mechanisms in Temporo-Parietal Cortex Support Self-Location and First-Person Perspective
Silvio Ionta,Lukas Heydrich,Bigna Lenggenhager,Michael Mouthon,Eleonora Fornari,Dominique Chapuis,Roger Gassert,Olaf Blanke +7 more
TL;DR: The findings reveal that multisensory integration at the TPJ reflects one of the most fundamental subjective feelings of humans: the feeling of being an entity localized at a position in space and perceiving the world from this position and perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Representation of body identity and body actions in extrastriate body area and ventral premotor cortex
TL;DR: Double dissociation in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in healthy individuals suggests that whereas extrastriate body area mainly processes actors' body identity, premotor cortex is crucial for visual discriminations of actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet.
TL;DR: While mental rotation of hands was faster in the front than in the back hands position, no similar effect was found when mentally rotating feet, and sensory-motor and postural information coming from the body may influencemental rotation of body parts according to specific, somatotopic rules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the role of the primary somatosensory cortex: Opportunities for rehabilitation.
TL;DR: Recent evidence illustrating the role of S1 in motor control, motor learning and functional recovery is synthesized with an emphasis on how information from these investigations may be exploited to inform stroke rehabilitation to reduce motor dysfunction and improve therapeutic outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet in left and right handers
Silvio Ionta,Olaf Blanke +1 more
TL;DR: The body-part posture effect on mental rotation was found to be specific for the side and the body part for which the posture was modified only in right-handed participants, but it was absent for left- handed participants.
