- Reposted by Gerardo SalvatoWe discussed the role of thermal signals on bodily self-awareness in our latest paper with @gerardosalvato.bsky.social published on @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social: www.cell.com/trends/cogni... Now featured on @neurosciencenews.bsky.social: neurosciencenews.com/temperature-...
- Reposted by Gerardo SalvatoHow do thermosensory signals contribute to bodily self-awareness? Our review on this topic with @gerardosalvato.bsky.social has just been published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences! Grateful for the collaborations, the shared curiosity, and the scientific community pushing this conversation forward.
- Reposted by Gerardo SalvatoSalvato et al. report that proprioceptive deficits predict both disturbed sensation of ownership and anosognosia for hemiplegia following right-hemisphere stroke. Lesion mapping reveals damage to parietal regions and interhemispheric disconnections 👉 buff.ly/cEGwaft
- The sense of ownership and agency stem from proprioception, the sensory root of self-awareness. In a group of 46 right-brain-damaged patients, the disruption of a bilateral parietal network underlies proprioceptive deficits leading to ownership disorders and anosognosia for hemiplegia.
- Reposted by Gerardo SalvatoGreat start to #IMRF2025 with Symposium 2 all about body representation and some amazing talks! Really enjoyed hearing about how sounds can affect it, e.g. with the auditory pinocchio illusion 🔊, something quite different than what I work on but so fun!
- Reposted by Gerardo SalvatoVery happy to attend #IMRF2025 this week!

We kicked off with our grant-writing pre-event, thanks to our amazing speakers: @davidecrepaldi.bsky.social, Francesca Lionetti, Luca Rinaldi & @gerardosalvato.bsky.social for sharing insights. We closed the day, spirits in hand at the welcome reception. On to Day 2!

- Beautifully done! I’m reading it with great curiosity. Super @mattlongo.bsky.social! ✋🤙🫱
- In "The Invisible Hand," @mattlongo.bsky.social provides a deftly written account of the neural and cognitive mechanisms that have made a seemingly ordinary physical appendage—the human hand—an extraordinary tool in the evolution of humanity: mitpress.mit.edu/978026255187...
- Very cool study!
- Very excited to share part of my postdoctoral work from the @tjryan.bsky.social lab, out now in @nature.com. Here, my brilliant co-author @andreamunozz.bsky.social and I explored the link between memory engrams and whole-body metabolism. A thread: 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- 🧵1/5 🌡️ #Thermosensory signals may contribute to the sense of body #ownership🖐️, yet their role remains highly debated. In our new study, we test this assumption within the framework of pathological body ownership after right-brain #stroke🧠
- 🧵2/5 Patients with right-brain damage and altered ownership for the left-hand exhibit lower basal hand temperatures bilaterally and impaired perception of cold and warm stimuli compared to right-brain damaged patients with and without hemiplegia and preserved ownership.
- 🧵3/5 Lesion mapping reveals associations in the right operculum and #insula, indicating that these regions are linked to lower skin #temperature. Deficits in #thermoception are associated with the same brain regions, but more anteriorly.
