Sometimes the most interesting finding isn’t loss of function—it’s resilience. Our new @pnas.org study shows that memory-guided attention survives left hippocampal sclerosis, with the brain shifting toward the right hippocampus. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Looking forward to talking about temperature and bodily self-awareness at Campus Biotech in Geneva campusbiotech.ch/events/neuro...

Many thanks to all my co-authors for the depth of expertise and genuinely collaborative work behind this review @gerardosalvato.bsky.social @michelabassolino @maddalendabeccerle @gretavianello @katerinafoto.bsky.social @gabriellabottini & @valentinamoro plus the @CairnillarInstitute & @UoVerona

Delighted to share my first paper of 2026 "Interoception and allostatic load after stroke: A scoping review". Available now, open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Online Now: Shaping bodily self-awareness through thermosensory signals

We 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-...

How 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.

Salvato 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.

Great 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!

Very happy to attend #IMRF2025 this week! Thank you for joining the symposium "Real bodies in a real world: Multisensory and embodied signatures of self-enviroment interactions" and for the stimulating discussion @gerardosalvato.bsky.social @fraferri.bsky.social Amar D'Adamo, Chris Dijkerman

Beautifully done! I’m reading it with great curiosity. Super @mattlongo.bsky.social! ✋🤙🫱

Very cool study!

📱🌡️👶 Even brief parental distractions (digital and non-digital) can distress infants. Using thermal imaging, we found unique stress responses when moms used smartphones instead of paper. Distraction matters, and the type of distraction might matter more. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper alert! In this chapter, part of a volume led by the late Bud Craig’s colleagues Alan Simmons, Marc Wittmann, and Irina Strigo, we opine on the role of the insula in interoception and body image processing in anorexia nervosa and other health conditions. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178772/

🧵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🧠

I am delighted this work by @gerardosalvato.bsky.social et al on the relationship between disturbances in the sense of body ownership & temperature regulation is finally published! doi.org/10.1038/s414... Here is a thread on the long, scientific whodunit 1/11

Cold hands, altered ownership? We link disturbed body ownership in stroke patients to reduced hand temperature and impaired thermoception. The right Insula & Parietal hubs are key players. We are excited to share our new findings @naturecomms.bsky.social ▶️ rdcu.be/d5SDU
