    • Anosognosia for hemiplegia as a tripartite disconnection syndrome 

      Pacella, Valentina; Foulon, Chris; Jenkinson, Paul M; Scandola, Michele; Bertagnoli, Sara; Avesani, Renato; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini; Moro, Valentina; Thiebaut de Schotten, Michel (2019-08-06)
      The syndrome of Anosognosia for Hemiplegia (AHP) can provide unique insights into the neurocognitive processes of motor awareness. Yet, prior studies have only explored predominately discreet lesions. Using advanced ...

    • Damage to the right insula disrupts the perception of affective touch 

      Kirsch, Louise P; Besharati, Sahba; Papadaki, Christina; Crucianelli, Laura; Bertagnoli, Sara; Ward, Nick; Moro, Valentina; Jenkinson, Paul M; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini (2020-01-24)
      Specific, peripheral C-tactile afferents contribute to the perception of tactile pleasure, but the brain areas involved in their processing remain debated. We report the first human lesion study on the perception of C-tactile ...

    • Definition: Asomatognosia 

      Jenkinson, Paul; Moro, Valentina; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini (2018-04-01)

    • The Motor Unawareness Assessment (MUNA): A new tool for the assessment of Anosognosia for hemiplegia 

      Moro, Valentina; Besharati, Sahba; Scandola, Michele; Bertagnoli, Sara; Gobbetto, Valeria; Ponzo, Sonia; Bulgarelli, Cristina; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini; Jenkinson, Paul M (2021-02-15)
      Introduction: Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is a condition in which patients with paralysis are unaware of their motor deficits. Research into AHP is important for improving its treatment and providing insight into the ...

    • Motor versus body awareness: Voxel-based lesion analysis in anosognosia for hemiplegia and somatoparaphrenia following right hemisphere stroke 

      Moro, Valentina; Pernigo, Simone; Tsakiris, Manos; Avesani, Renato; Edelstyn, Nicola M J; Jenkinson, Paul; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini (2016-10-01)
      Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is informative about the neurocognitive basis of motor awareness. However, it is frequently associated with concomitant symptoms, such as hemispatial neglect and disturbances in the sense ...

    • Reading the mind in the touch: Neurophysiological specificity in the communication of emotions by touch 

      Kirsch, Louise; Krahé, Charlotte; Blom, Nadia; Crucianelli, Laura; Moro, Valentina; Jenkinson, Paul; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini (2018-07-31)
      Touch is central to interpersonal interactions. Touch conveys specific emotions about the touch provider, but it is not clear whether this is a purely socially learned function or whether it has neurophysiological specificity. ...

    • Welcoming back my arm: Affective touch increases body ownership following right hemisphere stroke 

      Jenkinson, Paul; Papadaki, Cristina; Besharati, Sahba; Moro, Valentina; Gobbetto, Valeria; Crucianelli, Laura; Kirsch, Louise P; Avesani, Renato; Ward, Nick; Fotopoulou, Aikaterini (2020-03-28)
      Right-hemisphere stroke can impair the ability to recognize one's contralesional body parts as belonging to one's self. The study of this so-called 'disturbed sense of limb ownership' can provide unique insights into the ...
