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

Functional brain imaging of appetite
TL;DR: The recent use of functional brain imaging in humans to study the neural control of appetite is reviewed, and how the neural systems involved may cause vulnerability to overeating in the obesogenic environment is reviewed.

The Multiple Systems Model of Angry Rumination
TL;DR: A functional account of angry rumination is suggested, gaps in knowledge are identified, and future research directions based on hypotheses derived from the model are proposed.

The Influence of Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse on Self-Selected Speeds during a 30-min Treadmill Run
TL;DR: Faster speeds selected during the first 5 min of exercise corresponded with enhanced feelings of pleasure when mouth rinsing with the CHO solution, and total distance covered during a self-selected 30-min run was greater during the CHO than during the PLA trial.

A role for the prefrontal cortex in exercise tolerance and termination
TL;DR: A model is proposed which describes how the PFC acts as a control structure by integrating information produced during exercise, both centrally and peripherally, exerting a top down effect.

Following One’s Heart: Cardiac Rhythms Gate Central Initiation of Sympathetic Reflexes
TL;DR: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging of brain and noninvasive beat-to-beat cardiovascular monitoring, stimuli presented before and during early cardiac systole elicited differential changes in neural activity within amygdala, anterior insula and pons, and engendered different effects on blood pressure.

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.
