Bodily illusions in health and disease: physiological and clinical perspectives and the concept of a cortical 'body matrix'.

TLDR
It is proposed that a network of multisensory and homeostatic brain areas may be responsible for maintaining a 'body-matrix', a dynamic neural representation that not only extends beyond the body surface to integrate both somatotopic and peripersonal sensory data, but also integrates body-centred spatial sensory data.

Clinical features and pathophysiology of complex regional pain syndrome

TL;DR: The evidence points to CRPS being a multifactorial disorder that is associated with an aberrant host response to tissue injury, and variation in susceptibility to perturbed regulation of any of the underlying biological pathways probably accounts for the clinical heterogeneity of CRPS.

Illusory ownership of a virtual child body causes overestimation of object sizes and implicit attitude changes

TL;DR: It is concluded that there are perceptual and probably behavioral correlates of body-ownership illusions that occur as a function of the type of body in which embodiment occurs.

Targeting cortical representations in the treatment of chronic pain: A review.

TL;DR: The authors review the cortical changes that are associated with chronic pain and the therapeutic approaches that have been shown to normalize representational changes and decrease pain and discuss future directions to train the brain to reduce chronic pain.

Evidence for working memory deficits in chronic pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A consistent, moderate significant effect is shown in this systematic review and meta‐analysis of 24 studies evaluating behavioural and/or physiological outcomes in a chronic pain group and a control group and high heterogeneity within the field was found.

How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.

TL;DR: Functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body that might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.

Rubber hands ‘feel’ touch that eyes see

TL;DR: An illusion in which tactile sensations are referred to an alien limb is reported, which reveals a three-way interaction between vision, touch and proprioception, and may supply evidence concerning the basis of bodily self-identification.

Neural systems supporting interoceptive awareness.

TL;DR: In right anterior insular/opercular cortex, neural activity predicted subjects' accuracy in the heartbeat detection task and local gray matter volume correlated with both interoceptive accuracy and subjective ratings of visceral awareness.
