Get real: Orbitofrontal cortex mediates the ability to sense reality in early adolescents

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Roberto Martuzzi, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Vanessa Siffredi

Introduction Orbitofrontal reality filtering (ORFi) is a memory mechanism that distinguishes whether a thought is relevant to present reality or not. In adults, it is mediated by the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). This region is still not fully developed in p ...

Subjective feeling of re‐experiencing past events using immersive virtual reality prevents a loss of episodic memory

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Lucie Bréchet, Andrea Serino, Robin Mange

Introduction: Personally meaningful past episodes, defined as episodic memories (EM), are subjectively re-experienced from the natural perspective and location of one's own body, as described by bodily self-consciousness (BSC). Neurobiological mechanisms o ...
