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

Abnormal body perception and neural activity in the insula in depression: An fMRI study of the depressed "material me"
Christine Wiebking,André Bauer,Moritz de Greck,Niall-William Duncan,Claus Tempelmann,Georg Northoff +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that behavioural and neural abnormalities are closely related to these patients’ somato-vegetative abnormalities and their abnormal “material me”.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bolus isoproterenol infusions provide a reliable method for assessing interoceptive awareness.
TL;DR: A novel protocol for inducing and assessing a range of deviations in body states via bolus infusions of isoproterenol, a non-selective beta adrenergic agonist, is described, finding that bolus isoprotserenol infusions elicited rapid and transient increases in heart rate and concomitant ratings of heartbeat and breathing sensations, in a dose-dependent manner.

The past, present and future of social neuroscience: A European perspective.
TL;DR: The use of a multi-method and multi-disciplinary research approach combining genetic, pharmacological, computational and developmental aspects is advocated and future directions for the study of interactive minds are discussed.

The functional neuroanatomy of the evolving parent-infant relationship.
Christine E. Parsons,Katherine S. Young,Katherine S. Young,Lynne Murray,Alan Stein,Morten L. Kringelbach,Morten L. Kringelbach +6 more
TL;DR: This review provides an outline of the evolving nature of the parent-infant relationship over the first 18 months, starting with basic orienting and recognition processes, and culminating in the infant's attainment of higher socio-emotional and cognitive capacities.

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.
