Anosognosia for motor deficits in patients with left hemisphere lesions: a systematic review Open
Background Patients with brain damage may deny the presence of their contralesional motor deficits. Some individuals may even claim they performed specific actions with the paralyzed limb, such as clapping hands. This well-known condition,…

Dissociations between bodily self-awareness components in women with Anorexia Nervosa Open
The awareness of our body arises from the convergence between physical (e.g., autonomic signals, perception of body in space) and mental (e.g., subjective sensations) components. The divergence between these components could characterise b…

The hidden side of body integrity dysphoria: aberrant limbic responses to dynamic touch Open
Body integrity dysphoria (BID) is a brain-based disorder characterized by a persistent, obsessing and disturbing desire for the amputation of healthy limbs. Importantly, individuals with BID are adamant about which specific body segment th…

The Association between Dysnatraemia during Hospitalisation and Post-COVID-19 Mental Fatigue Open
COVID-19 may induce short- and long-term cognitive failures after recovery, but the underlying risk factors are still controversial. Here, we investigated whether (i) the odds of experiencing persistent cognitive failures differ based on t…

Skin temperature changes in response to body ownership modulation vary according to the side of stimulation Open
A growing body of research has shown that a unilateral alteration in the sense of limb ownership is associated with the cooling of a limb's temperature. However, the recent emergence of contradictory results calls into question the existen…

Brain Abnormalities in Individuals with a Desire for a Healthy Limb Amputation: Somatosensory, Motoric or Both? A Task-Based fMRI Verdict Open
Body integrity dysphoria (BID), a long-lasting desire for the amputation of physically healthy limbs, is associated with reduced fMRI resting-state functional connectivity of somatosensory cortices. Here, we used fMRI to evaluate whether t…
