How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.
TLDR
Functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body that might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.Abstract:
As humans, we perceive feelings from our bodies that relate our state of well-being, our energy and stress levels, our mood and disposition. How do we have these feelings? What neural processes do they represent? Recent functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body. This system constitutes a representation of 'the material me', and might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.read more

Dissecting axes of autonomic control in humans: Insights from neuroimaging
Hugo D. Critchley,Hugo D. Critchley,Yoko Nagai,Marcus A. Gray,Marcus A. Gray,Christopher J. Mathias,Christopher J. Mathias +6 more
TL;DR: Current and anticipated technical advances, including the integration of autonomically-focused microneurography and neural stimulation with advanced neuroimaging, will continue to provide detailed insight into dynamics of autonomic control.

Mapping Brain Response to Pain in Fibromyalgia Patients Using Temporal Analysis of fMRI
Jesús Pujol,Marina López-Solà,Héctor Ortiz,Joan C. Vilanova,Ben J. Harrison,Murat Yücel,Carles Soriano-Mas,Narcís Cardoner,Joan Deus +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that data-driven fMRI assessments may complement conventional neuroimaging for characterizing pain responses and that enhancement of brain activation in fibromyalgia patients may be particularly relevant in emotion-related regions.

Neural substrate of cold-seeking behavior in endotoxin shock.
Maria Camila Almeida,Maria Camila Almeida,Alexandre A. Steiner,Luiz G.S. Branco,Andrej A. Romanovsky +4 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that LPS-induced cold-seeking response is mediated by neuronal bodies located in the DMH and neural fibers passing through the PVH, the first two landmarks on the map of the circuitry ofcold-seeking behavior associated with endotoxin shock.

Bodily pleasure matters: velocity of touch modulates body ownership during the rubber hand illusion.
TL;DR: Slow velocity touch was perceived as more pleasant and it produced higher levels of subjective embodiment during the RHI compared with fast touch, and this effect applied irrespective of whether the seen hand was a rubber or a confederate's hand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain Structure Correlates of Individual Differences in the Acquisition and Inhibition of Conditioned Fear
TL;DR: The results identified 2 regions in which individual variation in brain structure correlated with subjects' fear-related arousal, and confirmed that increased thickness in ventromedial prefrontal cortex was correlated with the degree of extinction retention.

The Principles of Psychology
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain
TL;DR: The authors argued that rational decisions are not the product of logic alone - they require the support of emotion and feeling, drawing on his experience with neurological patients affected with brain damage, Dr Damasio showed how absence of emotions and feelings can break down rationality.
