The space immediately around the body is represented by multisensory integrative processes implemented in frontal and parietal lobes. This network has basically a motor function—that is, planning an approaching or defensive motor response to stimuli presented close to the body. Peripersonal space representations are highly plastic as a function of experience. Indeed, using a tool to act in far space can drive an elongation of peripersonal space representation towards the acting space. In this review functional and dynamic properties of such plasticity are reviewed in light of recent experimental findings from our own group and other laboratories.

周边空间表示中的动作依赖可塑性

身体周围的空间由额叶和顶叶中实施的多感官综合过程表示。这个网络基本上具有运动功能——也就是说，计划对靠近身体的刺激做出接近或防御性的运动反应。作为经验的函数，个人空间表征是高度可塑性的。事实上，使用工具在遥远的空间中行动可以推动个人空间表征向表演空间的延伸。在这篇综述中，根据我们自己的小组和其他实验室的最新实验结果，回顾了这种可塑性的功能和动态特性。
