Processing bodies (P-bodies) are the membraneless organelles that play critical roles in RNA storage and decay. Abnormalities in P-bodies contribute to diseases and developmental disorders. Huge efforts have been applied to the identification of the protein components in P-bodies, however, the dynamics of RNA…

Neurocognitive models of higher-level somatosensory processing have emphasised the role of stored body representations in interpreting real-time sensory signals coming from the body (Longo, Azañón and Haggard, 2010; Tamè, Azañón and Longo, 2019). The need for such stored representations arises from the fact that…

'Jacopo Lanzone' 'Luca Giani' 'Marta Vassallo' 'Mario Picozzi' 'Eugenio Agostino Parati' 'Liana Palermo'] Given the widespread debate on the definition of the terms “Body Schema” and “Body Image”, this article presents a broad overview of the studies that have investigated the nature of these types of body…

Our body is the medium through which we interact with the world. For this interaction to be effective, our body must accomplish at least two main tasks: i.) to collect information from the environment (through the afferent sensory systems); ii.) to make actions within the environment (through the efferent motor…

The perceptions of our own body (e.g., size and shape) do not always coincide with its real characteristics (e.g., dimension). To track the complexity of our perception, the concept of mental representations (model) of the body has been conceived. Body representations (BRs) are stored in the brain and are maintained…

Humans and animals excel in combining information from multiple sensory modalities, controlling their complex bodies, adapting to growth, failures, or using tools. These capabilities are also highly desirable in robots. They are displayed by machines to some extent—yet, as is so often the case, the artificial creatures…

Although in the last three decades philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists have produced numerous studies on human cognition, the debate concerning its nature is still heated and current views on the subject are somewhat antithetical. On the one hand, there are those who adhere to a view implying…

The intricate relationship between the body and the mind has long been recognized, but the specific bodily representations of spontaneous thought remain elusive. Here, we developed and validated predictive models of spontaneous thought based on body maps using the emBODY and Free-Association Semantic tasks. Our valence…

Decomposition, or the process by which a corpse turns into a skeleton due to the destruction of the soft tissue, is very complicated. Humankind has used various methods to inhibit and delay decomposition changes over centuries. It includes mummification, embalming, and preservation of the body under low temperatures.…

Spatial image transformation of the self-body is a fundamental function of visual perspective-taking. Recent research underscores the significance of integration of intero-exteroceptive information to construct representations of our embodied self. This raises the intriguing hypothesis that interoceptive processing…

'Mihaela Georgieva' 'Metodi Goshev' 'Alexandar Alexandrov'] Immediately after death, specific changes occur in the human body, leading to the total dissolution of the soft tissues and internal organs. In some cases, when in suitable conditions, the decomposition process could stop and be displaced by mummification. The…

Under normal circumstances, different inner- and outer-body sources are integrated to form coherent and accurate mental experiences of the state of the body, leading to the phenomenon of corporeal awareness. How these processes are affected by changes in inner and outer inputs to the body remains unclear. Here, we aim…

The unique ability to identify one’s own body and experience it as one’s own is fundamental in goal-oriented behavior and survival. However, the mechanisms underlying the so-called body ownership are yet not fully understood. The plasticity of body ownership has been studied using two experimental methods or their…

Tying the hands behind the back has detrimental effect of sensorimotor perceptual tasks. Here we provide evidence that beta band oscillatory activity in a resting state condition might have a crucial role in such detrimental effects. EEG activity in a resting state condition was measured from thirty participants in two…

Three-dimensional (3D) printed preoperative planning models serve a critical role in the success of many medical procedures. However, many of these models do not portray the patient's complete anatomy due to their monolithic and static nature. The use of dynamic 3D-printed models can better equip physicians by…

The supernumerary robotic limb system expands the motor function of human users by adding extra artificially designed limbs. It is important for us to embody the system as if it is a part of one’s own body and to maintain cognitive transparency in which the cognitive load is suppressed. Embodiment studies have been…

The quality and safety of food is an important issue to the whole society, since it is at the basis of human health, social development and stability. Ensuring food quality and safety is a complex process, and all stages of food processing must be considered, from cultivating, harvesting and storage to preparation and…

The present study investigates the mechanical and corrosion properties of reinforced 6061-T6 Aluminum samples after friction stir processing. Three different composites are fabricated: one without any powder and the others with micrometer and nanometer alumina powder ({Al}\_2O\_3) as reinforcing particles. The…
