The Development of a Flexible Bodily Representation: Behavioral Outcomes and Brain Oscillatory Activity During the Rubber Hand Illusion in Preterm and Full-Term School-Age Children

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
During childhood, the body undergoes rapid changes suggesting the need to constantly update body representation based on the integration of multisensory signals.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The Relationship Between Proprioceptive Drift and Body Ownership Varies with the Mediolateral Position of a Virtual Hand

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The sense of body ownership refers to the attribution of the body or body parts to oneself. Proprioceptive drift is a phenomenon in which the perceived position of a body part changes during body ownership illusions.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Ownership of the Body: The Dutch Context [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Ownership is a well-known feature of the world; without it our world would be considerably different. Consequently, ownership is an important topic in moral, political, and legal philosophy.

More Plausible Models of Body Ownership Could Benefit Virtual Reality Applications

open access: yesComputers, 2021
Embodiment of an avatar is important in many seated VR applications. We investigate a Bayesian Causal Inference model of body ownership. According to the model, when available sensory signals (e.g., tactile and visual signals) are attributed to a single ...

Drift and ownership toward a distant virtual body [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
In body ownership illusions participants feel that a mannequin or virtual body (VB) is their own. Earlier results suggest that body ownership over a body seen from behind in extra personal space is possible when the surrogate body is visually stroked and tapped on its back, while spatially and temporal synchronous tactile stimulation is applied to the ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

A method for generating an illusion of backwards time travel using immersive virtual reality - an exploratory study

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
We introduce a new method, based on immersive virtual reality, to give people the illusion of having travelled backwards through time to relive a sequence of events in which they can intervene and change history.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.
