Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness

Xiaosi Gu, +4 more
- 15 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: A model in which AIC serves two major functions: integrating bottom‐up interoceptive signals with top‐down predictions to generate a current awareness state and providing descending predictions to visceral systems that provide a point of reference for autonomic reflexes is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the behavioral interaction and integration of attentional networks.

Jin Fan, +6 more
- 06 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is found that whereas alerting improves overall response speed, it exerts negative influence on executive control under certain conditions, and the hypothesis of functional integration and interaction of these brain networks is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attention and reality constraints on the neural processes of empathy for pain.

Xiaosi Gu, +1 more
- 15 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the involvement of the neural substrates underlying pain-related empathy is constrained by top-down attention and contextual reality of stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic and vicarious pain are represented by dissociable multivariate brain patterns.

Anjali Krishnan, +14 more
- 14 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: Combining functional neuroimaging with multivariate pattern analyses, dissociable patterns that predicted somatic and vicarious pain intensity in out-of-sample individuals were identified, suggesting possible mechanisms underlying limitations in feeling others’ pain, and present new, more specific, brain targets for studying pain empathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anterior insular cortex is necessary for empathetic pain perception.

Xiaosi Gu, +8 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Examining the perception of others' pain in patients with anterior insular cortex or anterior cingulate cortex lesions reveals a critical role of anterior Insular cortex in empathetic pain processing, support for a wide range of neuropsychiatric illnesses characterized by prominent deficits in higher-level social functioning.
