Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder primarily characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs while at rest. A key hypothesis suggests that RLS symptoms are linked to abnormal brain function in processing internally generated stimuli, particularly interoception. This distorted perception of the internal bodily state leads to maladaptive behaviors, which may manifest across a wide range of medical and psychiatric disorders. Here, the investigators hypothesize that dysfunction in the insular cortex (IC) may result in a failure of behavioral adaptation, primarily expressed as an urge to move the legs and hyperarousal, even when the body and mind need rest. This project aims to assess the relationship between interoceptive abilities and diurnal fluctuations in IC functional connectivity (FC) in patients with RLS compared to healthy controls.
