Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Ionta et al. (2011) combine behavioral and fMRI approaches with anatomical lesion data to show that illusory perception of one's own body from an external point of view or at a different physical location is linked to modulation of neural activity in the temporo-parietal-junction, a cortical region fundamental to body-consciousness.
