“…Notably, cortical motor areas are not only motor-centric; they possess sensory properties, responding not only to micro-stimulation-inducing movement but also to visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli. These neurons display embodied motor simulation, indicated when visual, tactile, or auditory stimuli are presented within the peri-personal space associated with the body part controlled by the neurons [39]. Premotor area F4 includes neurons that are responsible for controlling arm reaching and orienting movements of the hand.…”

The study of neuroarchitecture is concerned with the significant effects of architecture on human behavior, emotions and thought processes. This review explores the intricate relationship between the brain and perceived environments, focusing on the roles of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and parahippocampal place area (PPA) in processing architectural stimuli. It highlights the importance of mirror neurons in generating empathetic responses to our surroundings and discusses how architectural elements like lighting, color, and space layout significantly impact emotional and cognitive experiences. The review also presents insights into the concept of cognitive maps and spatial navigation, emphasizing the role of architecture in facilitating wayfinding and orientation. Additionally, it addresses how neuroarchitecture can be applied to enhance learning and healing environments, drawing upon principles from the Reggio Emilia approach and considerations for designing spaces for the elderly and those with cognitive impairments. Overall, this review offers a neuroscientific basis for understanding how human cognition, emotions, spatial navigation, and well-being are influenced by architectural design.

“…De este modo, Blanke, (2012) afirma que la representación del cuerpo se inserta como un concepto complejo (embodied body) que involucra la integración multi y somatosensorial, el procesamiento visual, auditivo-vestibular, así como las señales motoras y viscerales del sistema nervioso autónomo. En este sentido, Hanna & Thompson (2003) proponen distinguir entre la experiencia del propio cuerpo y el cuerpo físico, es decir, diferenciar entre el cuerpo sujeto y el cuerpo objeto, en tanto, el primero corresponde a la vivencia o experiencia que cada persona tiene sobre su cuerpo, mientras que el segundo responde al estudio o perspectiva que un tercero tiene sobre el cuerpo del otro, tal como lo hacen disciplinas como la anatomía y la fisiología (Sestito, Raballo, Stanghellini & Gallese, 2017).En esta misma línea, Candini et al (2016) plantean que el reconocimiento del propio cuerpo resulta del procesamiento simultáneo de estímulos visuales, de las señales somato sensoriales y propioceptivas, así como de la información motora. Por lo tanto, conviene distinguir entre el conocimiento implícito y el conocimiento explícito sobre el cuerpo.…”

El Trastorno Dismórfico Corporal (TDC) corresponde a una preocupación excesiva por los defectos o imperfecciones físicas, que no son observables o parecen sin importancia para otras personas. Objetivo: este trabajo constituye una revisión narrativa sobre el estado del conocimiento de los aspectos neurobiológicos, neuropsicológicos y dimensiones clínicas del TDC. Método: para ello, se llevó a cabo una búsqueda en las bases de datos PubMed, MedLine, Embase, Science Direct y Bibliomed, y se utilizaron los descriptores “trastorno dismórfico corporal” “funcionamiento cognitivo” “dismorfofobia” y “procesamiento cognitivo”, tanto en inglés como en español. Resultados: se encontró que el TDC se sitúa dentro del trastorno obsesivo compulsivo y otros trastornos relacionados, una categoría diferente a la de los trastornos de ansiedad en la cual se incluía anteriormente. Las personas con TDC presentan dificultades en el procesamiento perceptual visual y la atención selectiva; en algunos casos, también pueden aparecer cambios en la corteza visual, así como en las estructuras límbicas y frontoestriatales. Se identificó que los individuos diagnosticados con TDC tienen cuatro veces más probabilidades de experimentar ideación suicida y mayor riesgo de participar en intentos de suicidio. Discusión: es necesario actualizar la intervención clínica y generar nuevas líneas de investigación al respecto; el TDC es un desorden complejo que actualmente es más prevalente dadas las recientes demandas del contexto respecto al valor social del cuerpo.

“…Both subjective and objective perspectives intersect in our own and others' perception and representation of healthy and ill bodies. To this effect, the significant gap observed between patients' reports of various types of bodily symptoms and illnesses, on the one hand, and etiopathogenetic theories and clinical diagnoses, on the other, is particularly concerning (Sestito et al 2017), given the influence of neurological reductionism and concurrent promissory rhetorics of recovery in approaches to mental illness, to the detriment of patient experiences and priorities (Reardon 2014). This disparity between patient reports and medical theories also maps onto larger ethical and epistemic concerns about the place given to the voices and experiences of those immediately affected by illness in medical discourse and the perceived legitimacy of their claims to suffering (Crichton, Carel, and Kidd 2017;Carel 2017, 2018).…”

This article explores the relation among illness, home, and belonging. Through a feminist phenomenological framework, I describe the disorientations of being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and living with mental illness. This research anticipates the consequences of illness and serious (bodily) disorientations for a conception of belonging as seamless body–world compatibility. Instead, this article examines how the (in)stability of bodily dwellings in experiences of disorientation can suggest ways of being in the world that are more attentive to interdependency, unpredictability, and change in human experience. I argue that these types of dwellings function as a more capacious and apposite metaphor to account for variations in belonging. This discussion outlines the ethical importance of building worlds that make room for different ways of being at home in and through our interactions with others. Although my discussion does not supply norms for ethical action, I contend that a feminist phenomenology of illness generates saliences and illuminates sensibilities that can transform our ways of being with others.
