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

Predicting vocal emotion expressions from the human brain.
Sonja A. Kotz,Christian Kalberlah,Jörg Bahlmann,Jörg Bahlmann,Angela D. Friederici,Angela D. Friederici,John-Dylan Haynes,John-Dylan Haynes +7 more
TL;DR: Multivariate pattern analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data is used to investigate to which degree distinct vocal emotion expressions are represented in the receiver's local brain activity patterns and reveals vocal emotion to be encoded in a shared cortical network reflected by distinct brain activity pattern.

The Organization of the Primate Insular Cortex
TL;DR: This model proposes that interoceptive afferents that represent the ongoing physiological status of all the organs of the body are first being received in the granular dorsal fundus of the insula, then processed through a series of dysgranular poly-modal “insular stripes,” and integrated in anterior agranular areas that serve as an additional sensory platform for visceral functions and as an output stage for efferent autonomic regulation.

2010 Carl Ludwig Distinguished Lectureship of the APS Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation Section: Central Neural Pathways for Thermoregulatory Cold Defense
TL;DR: This review summarizes the research leading to a model representing the current understanding of the neural pathways through which cutaneous thermal receptors alter thermoregulatory effectors: the cutaneous circulation for control of heat loss, and brown adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and the heart for thermogenesis.

Spontaneous Brain Activity Relates to Autonomic Arousal

TL;DR: Recording blood oxygenation level-dependent signal using functional magnetic resonance imaging and skin conductance simultaneously during rest in human subjects found that the spontaneous fluctuations of BOLD signals in key nodes of RSNs are associated with changes in nonspecificskin conductance response, a sensitive psychophysiological index of autonomic arousal.

Pain and Cognitive Function Among Older Adults Living in the Community
Guusje van der Leeuw,Laura H. P. Eggermont,Ling Shi,William P. Milberg,Alden L. Gross,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Jonathan F. Bean,Suzanne G. Leveille,Suzanne G. Leveille,Suzanne G. Leveille +9 more
TL;DR: The findings point to the need for further research to understand how chronic pain may contribute to decline in cognitive function and to determine strategies that may help in preventing or managing these potential consequences of pain on cognitive function in older adults.

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.
