Introduction
Take a moment to try the following experiment. With your
Classic neuropsychological observations led Head and eyes closed, place your left hand in front of you with the Holmes to postulate an on-line representation of body posture, palm up and fingers pointed straight ahead. Now rotate your or ‘body schema’, derived from multimodal sensory inputs hand until the fingers point first to your right and then to (including proprioceptive, vestibular, somatosensory and your left. For the purposes of this paper, there are two visual inputs) which interacted with motor systems and served noteworthy observations concerning your ability to perform to guide movements such as those in the above example the above tasks. First, the simple fact that such movements (Head and Holmes, 1911–1912). More recently, several lines are made effortlessly and without vision suggests that there of evidence have provided support for the postulated body must be an on-line mental representation of body posture. That schema and its role in the guidance of movement. For is, without real-time information concerning body position, it example, Cole and Paillard observed striking impairments in would be impossible to programme such efficient movements.
even routine movements, such as reaching towards an object Secondly, note that the movements to the right and left were or maintaining balance while sitting in a chair, for two not symmetrical: joint constraints on movement probably patients who were deprived of sensory input as a result of forced the movement to the left to be slower and more sensory neuropathy (Cole and Paillard, 1995). Interestingly, effortful than the movement to the right.
these patients were able to compensate partially for the lack of on-line information (e.g. proprioceptive) concerning body they involve lateral rather than medial mental rotations of posture by constant visual guidance of movements. Such the hand. These findings, in conjunction with those of Sirigu effortful compensation helps to highlight the normally and colleagues (Sirigu et al., 1995, 1996), suggest that both automatic and seamless interaction between the body schema actual and mentally simulated movements may depend on the body schema. Moreover, functional neuroimaging findings Neuropsychological evidence also suggests that the suggest that laterality judgements are associated with monitoring and updating of body position as well as the activation in motor and parietal areas which substantially ability to simulate body movements mentally may be impaired overlap with areas activated by actual movements (e.g.
in patients with parietal damage (Sirigu et al., 1995, 1996; Stephan et al., 1995; Porro et al., 1996; Parsons and Fox, Coslett, 1998; Wolpert et al., 1998; Schwoebel et al., 2001).
1998). Parsons and colleagues state ‘In summary, motor For example, Sirigu and colleagues observed strong imagery appears generally to involve the same movement correlations between the time to imagine and execute a series representation used by the executive motor processes— of finger movements for both normal subjects and patients a unitary representation of movements as they occur, in accordance with the physical laws underlying motor control movements of the affected limb were both slowed for patients and implementing all physiological and pathophysiological with motor cortex damage (Sirigu et al., 1995). However, constraints.’ (Parsons and Fox, 1998, p. 586).
imagined and executed movement times were poorly These and other (e.g. Lackner, 1988) lines of evidence correlated for patients with parietal damage (Sirigu et al., suggest that the body schema represents on-line information 1996). Taken together, these data suggest that the parietal concerning body posture and that it subserves both real and area is an integral component of the neural substrate for the imagined movements. Furthermore, the body schema appears body schema as it appears to be involved in monitoring to be sensitive to central insults that affect motor performance, the sensory and motor information necessary for accurate such as motor cortex lesions and basal ganglia dysfunction (Dominey et al., 1995; Sirigu et al., 1995). However, to Parsons further argues that the body schema underlies the our knowledge, few previous investigations have examined performance of normal participants on a task that requires whether there are peripheral factors that influence the them to judge the laterality of pictured hands (Parsons, body schema (for a discussion of neural plasticity in 1987a, b, 1994). On the basis of several lines of evidence, Ramachandran and Hirstein, 1998). The present experiment judgements by imagining their left hand moving into the was designed to determine if pain influences the body schema.
orientation of left-hand stimuli and their right hand moving More specifically, we examined whether performance on a into the orientation of right-hand stimuli. Furthermore, such modified version of the hand laterality judgement task developed by Parsons (Parsons, 1987a) would differ when representations of the contralateral hand. Consistent with the judgements involved mental rotations of affected and these suggestions, Parsons and colleagues (Parsons et al., unaffected limbs in patients suffering from chronic arm pain.
1998) found that the accuracy of laterality judgements wasunimpaired in split-brain patients when the stimulus handwas contralateral to the perceiving hemisphere (e.g. a left-hand stimulus presented in the left visual hemifield), but that performance was not above chance when the stimulus hand Participants
was ipsilateral to the perceiving hemisphere. Furthermore, Participants included 13 (six with right arm pain, seven with Parsons observed that the time required for such laterality left arm pain) patients with arm pain of at least 3 months judgements in normal participants increased as the stimulus duration. Patients were all diagnosed as suffering from hand was presented at orientations further from that of the complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and were referred participant’s hand: the time required to judge the laterality from a pain control centre, where they were undergoing of a palm-up stimulus hand was modified by whether a participant’s own hand was palm-up or palm-down and by characteristics, pain severity and treatment. The medications the degree of angular disparity between the stimulus hand prescribed for these patients had a broad range of effects, and the participant’s hand (Parsons, 1994). Strong correlations from the pharmacological relief of pain to the anti-seizure were also observed between the time required for hand effects of gabapentin and the antidepressant effects of laterality judgements and the time required for participants amitriptyline, but we were interested primarily in within- to actually align their hand with a stimulus. Importantly, subject comparisons of response times to left- and right-hand laterality judgement times were also found to reflect stimuli. Thus, the effects of medications are not likely to biomechanical constraints on movement. Thus, just as lateral account for any differences in response times to left- and movements away from the body’s midline are more effortful right-hand stimuli within a given patient. Eighteen right- and time-consuming than medial movements towards the handed, age-matched (mean age 47 years, SD 11 years) midline, hand laterality judgement times are also longer when participants served as controls.

For each patient, the 16 different stimuli (8 conditions ϫ 2 hands) were presented eight times to give a total of 128trials. Controls viewed each stimulus four times in a total of64 trials.
Stimuli
Participants sat with their hands resting palm-down on the Digitized pictures of a left or right hand were presented on table in front of them with fingers resting on the response a computer monitor in palm-up and palm-down views at 0° keys. On each trial, a single stimulus hand appeared centred on (facing up), 90° medial (facing towards the participant’s the computer screen and remained there until the participant midsagittal plane), 90° lateral (facing away from participant’s indicated the laterality of the hand by pressing a key. For midsagittal plane) and 180° (facing down) orientations patients, responses were made by pressing a left or right key with the index or middle finger of their unaffected limb.
Thus, for both right and left hands there were a total of Controls responded with the index and middle fingers of eight different stimuli. All stimuli were created by digitally their right hand. All participants were instructed to respond manipulating one picture of a palm-up view and one picture as quickly and accurately as possible. Psyscope software of a palm-down view of the same hand in order to ensure (Cohen et al., 1993) was used to generate a random order that each stimulus was identical except for the change in of stimulus presentation for each participant and to record response time (RT) and accuracy data.

Consistent with previous investigations (Parsons, 1987a, b,
disparities between stimulus and participant hand positions 1994; Parsons and Fox, 1998; Parsons et al., 1998), analyses and the different movement constraints on palm-up and palm- for both patients and controls demonstrated that RTs and down rotations of the hand. Furthermore, there were longer accuracy were significantly influenced by the degree of RTs for palm-up views of lateral than medial stimuli [palm imagined movement necessary to align participants’ hands down, F(1,17) ϭ 2.19, P Ͻ 0.16; palm up, F(1,17) ϭ 37.03, with stimuli. Furthermore, RTs were consistent with P Ͻ 0.001], indicating that RTs reflected the biomechanical previously observed biomechanical constraints on movement (e.g. Parsons, 1994). These findings support the suggestion that the body schema underlies performance on the hand significance [F(1,17) ϭ 3.83, P Ͻ 0.10], reflecting a small laterality task. The major, and novel, finding of the present but consistent advantage for responses involving the right investigation is that a brain representation of the body is (i.e. dominant) hand, there was no significant interaction influenced by pain. Patients, but not controls, exhibited between orientation and limb [F(3,51) Ͻ 1]. Thus, in contrast slowed RTs when responses required large-amplitude mental to the consistently slower RTs observed for the affected rotations of their affected relative to their unaffected arm.
relative to the unaffected limbs in the 180° condition for the Before we discuss the theoretical implications of these patient data (i.e. 12 out of 13), control participants exhibited data, it is important to emphasize that these findings cannot be attributed to pain inhibition of movement or ‘guarding’ severity of pain at the time of testing. This hypothesis is for several reasons. First, patients did not, in fact, move the painful arm during the experimental task. Nor did patients The sensory and motor remappings reported in patients report pain in the course of the imagined movements.
and animals following amputation or deafferentation may Secondly, the slowing of RTs for the painful arm was also have an anatomical underpinning that differs from the observed only in the 180° condition; if guarding were elicited alteration induced in the body schema by pain. Investigations automatically by any stimulus depicting the painful extremity, in animals (Merzenich et al., 1984; Pons et al., 1991) as one would have expected the slowing of RTs to be observed well as magnetoencephalogram and transcranial magnetic for stimuli in all four orientations. We postulate that slowing stimulation experiments in humans (Cohen et al., 1991;Ramachandran, 1993; Yang et al., 1994; Pascual-Leone et al., in the 180° condition occurred because, unlike the other 1996) suggest that the remapping after amputation occurs at conditions, the 180° condition required large-amplitude the level of the primary sensory and motor cortices. In simulated movements at both distal and proximal joints and contrast, PET investigations of what we term the ‘body was thus more likely to involve painful regions of the arm schema’ in humans have suggested that this representation that tended to include both the elbow and the shoulder.
is supported by posterior parietal and dorsolateral frontal cortices (Bonda et al., 1996; Parsons and Fox, 1998). As a demonstrations that pathological conditions may alter the PET study using the hand laterality task reported in the body schema. As previously noted, Sirigu and colleagues present paper demonstrated activation in parietal cortex reported data from patients with parietal lesions, demonstrat- (Parsons and Fox, 1998), we believe that the pain-induced ing that central lesions might disrupt the body schema (Sirigu alteration in the body schema was likely to be mediated by et al., 1996). Furthermore, using a task similar to that reported higher-level sensory cortices of the posterior superior parietal here, Coslett demonstrated that patients with right-hemisphere lobes rather than the primary sensory cortex.

In the light of previous evidence suggesting that the see Rommel et al., 1999) have also suggested that the identification of pictured hands depends on the body schema frequently observed reduction in movement associated with (Parsons, 1987a, b, 1994), this asymmetrical performance this syndrome may be attributable to a central neglect- suggests that at least some features of the neglect syndrome like disorder.

In addition to the theoretical implications of the present As noted by Ramachandran and Hirstein in a recent review, findings, we note that the hand laterality task, after further several lines of evidence suggest that, in both animals examination and modification, may also be of clinical value.

Furthermore, response time on the hand differ from that exhibited by patients with phantom limbs.
