🧵5/5 This represents the first causal evidence of the contribution of thermosensory signals to bodily self-awareness. Read more at @naturecomms.bsky.social @springernature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The contribution of cutaneous thermal signals to bodily self-awareness - Nature Communications
Salvato et al. reveal that thermosensory signals may play a role in bodily self-awareness. Their study on right-brain stroke patients highlights behavioural and neural contribution of temperature and ...

🧵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.
