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

Dynamic activation of the anterior cingulate cortex during anticipatory anxiety.
TL;DR: The findings suggest threat dependent dynamics of brain activation in the ACC; with increased attentional avoidance during moderate threat and a switch to hypervigilant action readiness in the most anxious subjects during strong threat.

The lateral prefrontal cortex and complex value-based learning and decision making
TL;DR: This work provides a comprehensive review of functional neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and lesion evidence suggesting that the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) plays a critical role in complex aspects of value processing, and argues that it includes both cognitive and value-based information.

Pathophysiology of complex regional pain syndrome
TL;DR: The role of the immune system and the sickness response is becoming clearer as microglia are activated following injury and can induce central sensitization while astrocytes may maintain the process.

TL;DR: Normal urinary function is contingent upon a complex hierarchy of CNS regulation, and alterations in cognitive modulation, descending modulation, and hypervigilance are important in functional (symptom‐based) clinical disorders.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that the slow behavioral responses in idiopathic TMD may be due to attenuated, slower, and/or unsynchronized recruitment of attention/cognition processing areas, which may beDue to the salience of chronic pain, which inherently requires attention.

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.
