Interoceptive awareness in focal brain-damaged patients

ConclusionOur results support the hypothesis of a right-hemispheric dominance for “interoceptive neural network” suggesting that processing of visceral sensations would be located mainly in the right hemisphere. Therefore, a careful assessment of interoceptive awareness in clinical practice would be useful to improve rehabilitation and to engage patients with deficit of inter oceptive awareness in developing greater accuracy of body signals.
