In the last decade, a considerable amount of studies investigated different neuropsychological syndromes related to the disorder of body awareness. In this paper, we shall review neuropsychological evidence of pathological embodiment/disembodiment conditions with the aim of describing the major common features, and the complementary characteristics, that may suggest the structure and function of a shared body representation. In particular, we shall first discuss experimental studies conducted on a bizarre disorder of body ownership we recently described [i.e., brain-damaged patients claiming that another person's hand belongs to them (Pathological Embodiment, PE)]. Then complementary syndromes, with an apparent opposite attitude with respect to the PE (i.e., somatoparaphrenia and xenomelia, which is part of the Body Integrity Identity Disorders) will be also considered. We shall discuss the behavioural similarities/differences between these complementary disturbances also referring to already existing conceptual knowledge and proposals about body representation.
在过去的十年中，大量研究调查了与身体意识障碍相关的不同神经心理学综合征。在本文中，我们将回顾病理性体现/去体现状态的神经心理学证据，旨在描述主要的共同特征和补充特征，这些特征可能提示共享身体表现的结构和功能。特别是，我们将首先讨论我们最近描述的一种奇特的身体所有权障碍的实验研究[即，脑损伤患者声称另一个人的手属于他们（病理性体现，PE）]。然后还将考虑具有明显相反态度的补充综合征（即，躯体妄想症和异己手，它是身体完整性身份障碍的一部分）。我们将讨论这些补充障碍之间的行为相似性/差异，并参考关于身体表现的已有概念知识和建议。
