Altered neural signatures of interoception in multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients present several alterations related to sensing of bodily signals.

We aimed to determine whether MS patients present changes in interoception-that is, the monitoring of autonomic bodily information-a process that might be related to various bodily […]
