202. Interoception for cardiac and gastric signals: exploring individual differences and their implications for cognitive and mental health

Abstract complessivo di un simposio

Interoception is the perception of inner bodily sensations, including signals from diverse bodily systems, such as the cardiac and digestive ones. This sensory capacity exhibits significant variability among individuals, garnering attention in research because of its relevance to mental and physical health and in driving cognitive processes such as decision-making and social cognition. Despite...

341. Understanding individual differences in interoception: insights from adolescence

Ms Silvia Canino (Magna Graecia University, Catanzaro (Italy))

Talk in simposio

The perception of interoceptive signals and their neural representation profoundly affect physical, mental, and cognitive health. Despite this appreciation, the developmental trajectory of interoception is relatively under-researched, particularly during adolescence, a relevant period for interoceptive learning, as many bodily changes characterize it. This study aims to address this gap by...

221. Exploring the Interplay Between Interoception and Dissociative Experiences: Insights from a Non-Clinical Population

Gabriele Vercelli (Dipartimento di Psicologia, Sapienza Università di Roma)

9/24/24, 9:25 AM

Talk in simposio

The critical contribution of interoceptive signals to bodily self awareness and self-consciousness has recently been investigated by an increasing number of studies. Also, it has recently been suggested that interoceptive dysfunction can prove to be an important component of many neurological and psychiatric disorders (i.e. dissociative disorders, eating disorders, PTSD, somatic disorders),...

338. Exploring Interoceptive Dimensions and Body Representations in Parkinson's Disease

Mariachiara Gaita (Università degli studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli", Caserta Italia)

9/24/24, 9:45 AM

Talk in simposio

Interoception, the process by which signals originating from within the body are perceived and integrated, is crucial for constructing mental body representations. Despite its significance, the relationship between interoception and higher-order functional body representations (BR), particularly in Parkinson's disease (PD), remains understudied.
This study aims to investigate potential...

231. Exploring typical and atypical interoceptive patterns in Hypertension and Gastrointestinal Disorders: Clinical Relevance and Insights for interventions

Andrea Salaris (Università degli studi di Roma La Sapienza)

9/24/24, 10:05 AM

Talk in simposio

Interoception, i.e. the process through which the brain perceives, interprets, and integrates signals originating from the viscera has profound implications not only for cognition and behaviour, but also for physical and mental health. Although research has focused on interoceptive impairments in psychiatric disorders, a variety of medical conditions may show altered perception of visceral...
