Body and peripersonal space representations in chronic stroke patients with upper limb motor deficits

Olaf Blanke, Silvestro Micera, Andrea Crema, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

The continuous stream of multisensory information between the brain and the body during body-environment interactions is crucial to maintain the updated representation of the perceived dimensions of body parts (metric body representation) and the space aro ...

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 ...

How ageing shapes body and space representations: A comparison study between healthy young and older adults

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza, Giuliana Sorrentino, Charlène Zuber

To efficiently interact with the external world, the brain needs to represent the size of the involved body parts - body representations (BR) - and the space around the body in which the interactions with the environment take place - peripersonal space rep ...

Disownership of body parts as revealed by a visual scale evaluation. An observational study

Olaf Blanke, Roberta Ronchi, Michela Bassolino, Giuseppe Vallar, Dragana Viceic

The disownership of body parts, that most frequently occurs on the left side of the body, contralateral to right-hemispheric lesions, is an infrequent disorder, as usually assessed by interviews asking for dichotomic "yes/no" responses. This observational ...

Effect of tool-use observation on metric body representation and peripersonal space

Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza

In everyday life, we constantly act and interact with objects and with others' people through our body. To properly perform actions, the representations of the dimension of body-parts (metric body representation, BR) and of the space surrounding the body ( ...

Hand perceptions induced by single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation over the primary motor cortex

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Matteo Franza, Matteo Vissani, Giuliana Sorrentino

Background When single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) with sufficient intensity, it evokes muscular contractions (motor-evoked potentials, MEPs) and muscle twitches (TMS-evoked movements). Partic ...

You or me? Disentangling perspectival, perceptual, and integrative mechanisms in heterotopagnosia

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Michela Bassolino, Aurélie Bouzerda-Wahlen

Heterotopagnosia-without-Autotopagnosia (HwA) is characterized by the incapacity to point to body parts on others, but not on one's own body. This has been classically interpreted as related to a self-other distinction, with impaired visual representations ...
