The representation of one’s own body arises from the continuous and constant update of different information, coming from both internal and external sources[1],[2]. The interoceptive information plays a pivotal role in building higher-order cognitive body representations (BR) that neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence classified in action-oriented and non-action oriented BR[3],[4]. This study aimed to explore the development of BR, considering the association with the interoceptive sensibility throughout the lifespan (from school-age childhood to old age). Results showed as the action- and non-action oriented BR would have an inverted u-shaped developmental curve during the lifespan, whose extremities the interoceptive awareness would play a significant role in affecting action-oriented body representation processing.
