Embodiment in episodic memory through premotor-hippocampal coupling
N. H. Meyer, B. Gauthier, et al.
Using real-time sensorimotor stimulation, immersive virtual reality, and fMRI, the authors manipulated the sense of agency (SoA) and found stronger hippocampal reinstatement for scenes encoded under preserved SoA, mirroring recognition performance; premotor-hippocampal coupling linked bodily self-signals at encoding to episodic retrieval, and a severe amnesic patient lacked this SoA dependence. This research was conducted by Nathalie Heidi Meyer, Baptiste Gauthier, Sara Stampacchia, Juliette Boscheron, Mariana Babo-Rebelo, Jevita Potheegadoo, Bruno Herbelin, Florian Lance, Vincent Alvarez, Elizabeth Franc, Fabienne Esposito, Marilia Morais Lacerda, and Olaf Blanke.
