Recent work in human cognitive neuroscience has linked self-consciousness to the
processing of multisensory bodily signals (bodily self-consciousness [BSC]) in fronto-parietal …

A significant body of experimental evidence has demonstrated that it is possible to induce
the illusion of ownership of a fake limb or even an entire fake body using multisensory …

Our brain has developed a specific system to represent the space closely surrounding the
body, termed peripersonal space (PPS). This space has a key functional role as it is where …

Predominant conceptual frameworks often describe peripersonal space (PPS) as a single,
distance-based, in-or-out zone within which stimuli elicit enhanced neural and behavioural …

One of the great strengths of the mouse model is the wide array of genetic tools that have
been developed. Striking examples include methods for directed modification of the …

The ability to identify and localize our own limbs is crucial for survival. Indeed, the majority of
our interactions with objects occur within the space surrounding the hands. In non-human …

Dedicated neural systems represent the space surrounding the body, termed Peripersonal
space (PPS), by integrating visual or auditory stimuli occurring near the body with …

Background We physically interact with external stimuli when they occur within a limited
space immediately surrounding the body, ie, Peripersonal Space (PPS). In the primate brain …

The perception of our limbs in space is built upon the integration of visual, tactile, and
proprioceptive signals. Accumulating evidence suggests that these signals are combined in …

The defensive peripersonal space represents a “safety margin” advantageous for survival.
Its spatial extension and the possible relationship with personality traits have never been …
