~!~ Researchers at the University of Washington*s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences are among the first scientists worldwide to study body maps in the infant brain// In a cover story published in the September issue ofTrends in Cognitive Sciences, Peter Marshall and Andrew Meltzoff argue that this new area of infant neuroscience can provide crucial information about how babies develop a sense of their physical selves, and can further understanding of how their earliest social relationships with others are formed//
~!~ **Body maps in the brain are an important part of how we build up an implicit sense of ourselves through the sense of having a body and seeing and feeling our bodies move,** said Marshall, lead author and professor of psychology at Temple University// **We also believe that these maps facilitate the connections that we build with other people, even in the early months of life//** http://ukcanadaus.blogspot.com/
