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

Depression-Related Increases and Decreases in Appetite: Dissociable Patterns of Aberrant Activity in Reward and Interoceptive Neurocircuitry
W. Kyle Simmons,Kaiping Burrows,Jason A. Avery,Kara L. Kerr,Jerzy Bodurka,Cary R. Savage,Wayne C. Drevets +6 more
TL;DR: Depression-related increases in appetite are associated with hyperactivation of putative mesocorticolimbic reward circuitry, while depression-related appetite loss is associated with hypoactivation of insular regions that support monitoring the body's physiological state.

Neural substrates of attentional bias for smoking-related cues: an FMRI study.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that smokers with elevated attentional biases to smoking-related stimuli may more readily shift attention away from other external stimuli and toward smoking stimuli-induced internal states and emotional memories, which may contribute to increased interference by smoking cues, possibly increasing relapse vulnerability.

Dynamics of neural recruitment surrounding the spontaneous arising of thoughts in experienced mindfulness practitioners
Melissa Ellamil,Kieran C. R. Fox,Matthew L. Dixon,Sean Pritchard,Rebecca M. Todd,Evan Thompson,Kalina Christoff +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that brain regions that show antecedent recruitment may be preferentially involved in the initial inception of spontaneous thoughts, while those that show later recruitment may also be preferentialially involvedIn the subsequent elaboration and metacognitive processing of spontaneous thought.

Accuracy of respiratory symptom perception in different affective contexts
Katleen Bogaerts,Karolien Notebaert,Ilse Van Diest,Stephan Devriese,Steven De Peuter,Omer Van den Bergh +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of respiratory symptom perception was investigated in different affective contexts in participants (N=48) scoring high or low for negative affectivity (NA) across nine consecutive breathing trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical modulation of pain.
TL;DR: Modulation can also occur at the cortical level to change the affective-motivational aspects of nociception so that pain is perceived but looses its emotional and aversive component.

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.
