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

Distinct illusory own-body perceptions caused by damage to posterior insula and extrastriate cortex.
Lukas Heydrich,Olaf Blanke +1 more
TL;DR: Qualitative lesion analysis in the-to date-largest group of patients with autoscopic hallucination and heautoscopy is performed and compared the location of brain damage with those of control patients suffering from complex visual hallucinations, suggesting abnormal bodily self-consciousness during heautoscope is caused by a breakdown of self-other discrimination regarding affective somatosensory experience.

Altered insula activation during pain anticipation in individuals recovered from anorexia nervosa: evidence of interoceptive dysregulation.
Irina A. Strigo,Scott C. Matthews,Scott C. Matthews,Alan N. Simmons,Tyson A. Oberndorfer,Megan Klabunde,Lindsay E. Reinhardt,Walter H. Kaye +7 more
TL;DR: Rec AN showed a mismatch between anticipation and objective responses, suggesting altered integration and, possibly, disconnection between reported and actual interoceptive state.

The neuronal basis of fear generalization in humans
Selim Onat,Christian Büchel +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that fear generalization is not passively driven by perception, but is an active process integrating threat identification and ambiguity-based uncertainty to orchestrate a flexible, adaptive fear response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common and distinct brain networks underlying explicit emotional evaluation: a meta-analytic study
Kyung-Hwa Lee,Greg J. Siegle +1 more
TL;DR: This study revealed regions common to all three tasks: the amygdala and LPFC as common regions may be involved in emotion-cognition interactions, and the DMPFC may possibly play integrative roles in explicit emotional evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain activity associated with painfully hot stimuli applied to the upper limb: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analytic technique was employed to establish the most consistent activations among studies reporting brain responses subsequent to the application of noxious heat.

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.
