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

Cortical processing of visceral and somatic stimulation: differentiating pain intensity from unpleasantness.
P Dunckley,Richard G. Wise,Richard G. Wise,Qasim Aziz,D. Painter,D. Painter,Jonathan C W Brooks,Jonathan C W Brooks,Irene Tracey,Irene Tracey,Lin Chang +10 more
TL;DR: This study matched the unpleasantness of somatic and visceral sensations and imaged the neural representation of this perception using functional magnetic resonance imaging in 10 healthy right-handed subjects, finding patterns of activation represent the differences in cortical process of interoceptive and exteroceptive stimuli when matched for unpleasantness.

Leigh Christopher,Leigh Christopher,Leigh Christopher,Yuko Koshimori,Yuko Koshimori,Yuko Koshimori,Anthony E. Lang,Marion Criaud,Marion Criaud,Antonio P. Strafella,Antonio P. Strafella,Antonio P. Strafella +11 more
TL;DR: Reviewing imaging studies that provide insight into the potential role of the insula in Parkinson's disease non-motor symptoms concludes that this region acts as a central hub for processing relevant information related to the state of the body.

How understanding the neurobiology of complex post-traumatic stress disorder can inform clinical practice: a social cognitive and affective neuroscience approach
TL;DR: How understanding the neurobiology of complex post‐traumatic stress disorder can inform clinical practice is explored in a social cognitive and affective neuroscience approach.

Interoception and Stress
André Schulz,Claus Vögele +1 more
TL;DR: A positive feedback model involving stress (in particular early life or chronic stress, as well as major adverse events), the dysregulation of physiological stress axes, altered perception of bodily sensations, and the generation of physical symptoms are proposed, which may in turn facilitate stress.

Risk and risk prediction error signals in anterior insula
Peter Bossaerts,Peter Bossaerts +1 more
TL;DR: For this quantitative analysis of uncertainty-induced neuronal activation to further understanding of insula’s role in feelings and awareness, formalization and documentation of the relation between uncertainty and feelings/awareness will be needed.

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.
