Gerardo Salvato @gerardosalvato.bsky.social · 16/01/2025🧵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🧠 153
Gerardo Salvato @gerardosalvato.bsky.social · 16/01/2025🧵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. 100
Gerardo Salvato @gerardosalvato.bsky.social · 16/01/2025🧵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. 100
