Attività
Con le mani (manibus, in latino) compiamo gesti e azioni, entriamo in contatto con gli oggetti nel mondo e interagiamo con i nostri simili. Con le mani facciamo una carezza, ma possiamo anche difenderci da un pericolo. Con le mani usiamo strumenti che possono espandere i confini del nostro corpo. Il gruppo MANIBUS si occupa di temi inerenti alla rappresentazione del corpo, in condizione di normalità e patologia, focalizzandosi su aspetti sensoriali e motori, ma anche difensivi, adattativi ed evolutivi. Nelle nostre ricerche, un approccio neuropsicologico allo studio del comportamento, alterato a seguito di lesioni cerebrali o manipolazioni sperimentali, si combina con tecniche neurofisiologiche di neuroimaging (fMRI e EEG), stimolazione cerebrale non invasiva (tDCS e TMS) e registrazioni psicofisiologiche (SCR, EMG, Heartbeat).
1. SENTIRE IL CORPO
La capacità di sentire le parti del corpo come appartenenti a un tutto unitario sembra data per scontata. Tuttavia, questa sensazione si basa su un equilibrio complesso tra vincoli a priori della rappresentazione corporea e integrazione multisensoriale di tatto, visione, propriocezione e interocezione. Come il cervello riconosce le parti del proprio corpo? Quali meccanismi sono alla base della distinzione tra corpo proprio e corpo altrui? Come si può manipolare la consapevolezza corporea nei soggetti normali? Quali inferenze si possono trarre dalle alterazioni patologiche della rappresentazione del corpo nei disturbi neuropsicologici?
2. MUOVERE IL CORPO
Una componente fondamentale della consapevolezza di sé è la sensazione di agire con il proprio corpo. Attraverso il movimento, il corpo diventa un mezzo per agire nel mondo e interagire con gli altri individui. Quindi, un senso di sé coerente implica l’esistenza di un legame tra corpo e movimento. Quali meccanismi ci consentono di programmare le nostre azioni e predirne le conseguenze? Preparazione, esecuzione e immaginazione di movimento sono processi distinti? Come diventiamo consapevoli delle nostre azioni? Cosa possiamo inferire dalle alterazioni patologiche della consapevolezza di movimento nei disturbi neuropsicologici?
3. DIFENDERE IL CORPO
Diverse fonti di pericolo possono avvicinarsi al nostro corpo dal mondo esterno. Al fine della sopravvivenza, un continuo monitoraggio della posizione di stimoli pericolosi in relazione alla posizione del corpo risulta necessario per definire un margine di sicurezza all’interno del quale difendere il nostro corpo. Di quali meccanismi difensivi siamo dotati per la protezione del corpo? Come il cervello combina le informazioni (sensoriali, motorie e propriocettive) provenienti dal corpo per produrre una risposta difensiva efficace? Come può essere studiato e modulato lo spazio peripersonale difensivo? Quali inferenze possiamo trarre dalle alterazioni dei meccanismi difensivi in contesti patologici?
4. ADATTARE IL CORPO
Interagendo con l’ambiente, il nostro corpo si adatta ad esso e si modifica costantemente. Nel corpo, il cervello è l’organo che forse meglio rappresenta questa capacità di adattamento. Semplici procedure sperimentali come la illusione della mano di gomma o l’adattamento prismatico, fornendo input visivi e propriocettivi incongruenti o distorti, possono produrre effetti di plasticità in specifiche aree cerebrali. In ambito motorio, l’immobilizzazione di una parte del corpo produce effetti plastici sull’eccitabilità corticale così come l’uso di uno strumento è in grado di estendere la rappresentazione cerebrale del corpo e dello spazio, incorporando al suo interno lo strumento e la distanza che esso permette di raggiungere. Altro ambito di ricerca molto promettente è lo studio di come corpo e cervello si adattano a condizioni gravitazionali alterate, come quelle di microgravità esperite dagli astronauti. Come possiamo studiare questi effetti adattativi e utilizzarli per capire come si struttura e modifica la rappresentazione del corpo nel nostro cervello
5. SVILUPPARE IL CORPO
La rappresentazione del nostro corpo come entità distinta dall'ambiente è una componente fondamentale del nostro Senso del Sé. Il progetto MyFirstBody (finanziato dall’ERC Starting Grant) si propone di studiare lo sviluppo ontogenetico della rappresentazione del sé corporeo, adattando le euristiche derivate dallo studio dei pazienti neuropsicologici al contesto dello sviluppo. Quando, come e perché i feti e i neonati imparano ad associare informazioni multisensoriali che contruibuiscono all'emergere della rappresentazione del sé corporeo? In primo luogo, indagheremo i markers impliciti relativi all’emergere della rappresentazione del sé corporeo nella vita pre- e post-natale, descrivendo la maturazione delle componenti cruciali identificate attraverso lo studio dei pazienti neurologici (QUANDO). Successivamente, esploreremo i meccanismi neurali alla base dell'emergere della rappresentazione del sé corporeo (COME) e come il contesto può influenzare lo sviluppo normale e patologico (PERCHE’).

6 marzo 2021 Unito News| A poche ore dalla nascita i neonati riconoscono il loro corpo come entità separata dal mondo esterno
With our hands (manibus, in latin) we act and make gestures, we interface with objects in the outer world and interact with our peers. With the hands, we may caress, but also defend ourselves from a potential danger. With the hands, we may use tools able to extend body limits. MANIBUS group mainly deals with body representation, both in normal and pathological conditions, with a special focus on sensory-motor aspects, defensive behaviors, and adaptive phenomena. Our research is characterized by the adoption of a neuropsychological approach where behavioral alterations, due to brain lesions or reproduced by specific experimental manipulations, are observed through neuroimaging techniques (fMRI and EEG), psychophysiological measurements (SCR, EMG, Heartbeat), or through experimental paradigms involving non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS and TMS).
1. SENSING THE BODY
The ability to perceive our effectors as parts of a unitary and coherent body schema is often taken for granted. Conversely, this percept is grounded on a complex balance between aprioristic constraints, defining body representations, and the on-line multisensory integration of touch, vision, proprioception, and interoception. How does the brain recognize own-body parts? Which mechanisms are implicated in the distinction between the own body and the others' body? How can we manipulate the body awareness in normal subjects? How can we make inferences on the normal functioning of the human brain starting from pathological alterations of body representation in neuropsychological disorders?
2. MOVING THE BODY
A fundamental component of the self-awareness is the sensation that we are acting with our own body. Through our movements, the body becomes a tool to act in the world and to interact with other individuals. Thus, a coherent sense of self implies the existence of a tight link between the sense of body ownership and the motor system. Which mechanisms allow us to plan our own actions and to predict their consequences? Can programming, executing, and imaging movements be considered as distinct processes? How can we become aware of our actions? What can we infer from the pathological alterations of motor awareness in neuropsychological disorders?
3. DEFENDING THE BODY
External stimuli representing potential threats may suddenly approach the body. Therefore, for the sake of survival, a continuous assessment of environmental threat positions according to a body reference frame is essential to define a safety margin within which we have to protect our body. Which defensive mechanisms are we equipped with to defend the body? How does the brain combine the multimodal (sensory, motor, and proprioceptive) information coming from the body to provide an appropriate defensive response? How can we investigate and modulate the boundaries of the defensive peripersonal space? What can we infer from the observation of defensive mechanisms employed in pathological contexts?
4. ADAPTING THE BODY
Our body is constantly modeled by the interaction with the environment. Within the body, the brain is the organ better representing this adaptive ability. Simple experimental manipulations, such as the rubber hand illusion or prismatic adaptation, by providing incongruent or altered sensory inputs, may induce plastic effects in some specific brain areas. Within the motor system, the immobilization of a limb may modulate cortical excitability. Similarly, a tool repeatedly employed to perform a task may be embodied, thus widening the neural representation of the body, now including the tool and the space that can be reached through its use. Another promising research field is represented by the study of body and brain plasticity phenomena induced by altered gravitational inputs, such as microgravity conditions experienced by astronauts. How can we investigate such plastic effects and exploit these modulations to get further hints on how self-body representation is built and updated in the normal functioning brain?
1. BIOMARKERS OF BODY AWARENESS
We are now performing a series of pilot experiments, investigating the neurophysiological correlate of body awareness. By employing electroencephalography (EEG) to record (visual, tactile, and motor) event-related potentials, we aim at observing possible electrophysiological indexes of body awareness in normal conditions or following body ownership experimental manipulations or pathological alterations.
2. MULTISENSORY INTEGRATION IN FETUSES, NEWBORN AND INFANT
In collaboration with Sant’Anna University Hospital (Clinica Universitaria di Ginecologia e Ostetricia di Neonatologia – Città della Scienza e della Salute di Torino), we are performing a series of pilot studies on fetuses (observing eye movements recorded by sonography) and newborns (employing EEG), exploiting multisensory integration mechanisms to investigate the development of body awareness from an ontogenetic point of view.
3. BODY AWARENESS IN NON-HUMAN PRIMATES
In collaboration with Leonardo Fogassi (University of Parma), we are performing some pilot experiments focusing on the phylogenetic development of body awareness, with the aim of outlining possible comparative studies between human and non-human primates.
4. REHABILITATING BODY OWNERSHIP DEFICITS
We are carrying out some pilot studies aiming at evaluating possible rehabilitative approaches to be employed with brain-damaged patients, showing body awareness deficits. Possible rehabilitative techniques would be based on brain plasticity phenomena and would combine multisensory trainings with protocols of non-invasive brain stimulation promoting functional connectivity among primary as well as associative sensory areas.
