The neural correlates of topographical disorientation-a lesion analysis study

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Topographical disorientation refers to the selective inability to orient oneself in familiar surroundings. However, to date its neural correlates remain poorly understood. Here we use quantitative lesion analysis and a lesion network mapping approach in or ...

Neuroscience robotics for controlled induction and real-time assessment of hallucinations

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara, Eva Blondiaux, Laurent Frédéric Jenni

Although hallucinations are important and frequent symptoms in major psychiatric and neurological diseases, little is known about their brain mechanisms. Hallucinations are unpredictable and private experiences, making their investigation, quantification a ...

REM sleep and muscle atonia in brainstem stroke: A quantitative polysomnographic and lesion analysis study

Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Important brainstem regions are involved in the regulation of rapid eye movement sleep. We hypothesized that brainstem stroke is associated with dysregulated rapid eye movement sleep and related muscle activity. We compared quantitative/qualitative polysom ...

p Robotically-induced hallucination triggers subtle changes in brain network transitions

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Eva Blondiaux

The perception that someone is nearby, although nobody can be seen or heard, is called presence hallucination (PH). Being a frequent hallucination in patients with Parkinson's disease, it has been argued to be indicative of a more severe and rapidly advanc ...

Robot-induced hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease depend on altered sensorimotor processing in fronto-temporal network

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Jevita Potheegadoo, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Masayuki Hara, Michela Bassolino, Michel Akselrod, Eva Blondiaux

Hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are disturbing and frequent non-motor symptoms and constitute a major risk factor for psychosis and dementia. We report a robotics-based approach applying conflicting sensorimotor stimulation, enabling the inducti ...

Fronto-Temporal Disconnection Within the Presence Hallucination Network in Psychotic Patients With Passivity Experiences

Olaf Blanke, Alessandra Griffa, Jevita Potheegadoo, Kim Do, Patric Hagmann, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Giulio Rognini, Eva Blondiaux, Giedre Stripeikyte

Psychosis, characterized by hallucinations and delusions, is a common feature of psychiatric disease, especially schizophrenia. One prominent theory posits that psychosis is driven by abnormal sensorimotor predictions leading to the misattribution of self- ...

Common and distinct brain networks of autoscopic phenomena

Olaf Blanke, Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Objective Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are illusory own body reduplications characterized by the visual perception of a second own body in extrapersonal space, and include three main forms: autoscopic hallucination (AH), heautoscopy (HAS) and out-of-body-expe ...
