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

Neurobiology of decision making: a selective review from a neurocognitive and clinical perspective.
TL;DR: A temporal map of key processes that occur during decision making is presented, which consists of three stages: formation of preferences among options, selection and execution of an action, and experience or evaluation of an outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatosensory processes subserving perception and action
TL;DR: It is suggested that, analogously to the organisation of the visual system, somatosensory processing for the guidance of action can be dissociated from the processing that leads to perception and memory.

Parsing the neural correlates of moral cognition: ALE meta-analysis on morality, theory of mind, and empathy.
Danilo Bzdok,Leonhard Schilbach,Kai Vogeley,Karla Schneider,Angela R. Laird,Robert Langner,Simon B. Eickhoff +6 more
TL;DR: Investigating neural activity associated with different facets of moral thought provides evidence that the neural network underlying moral decisions is probably domain-global and might be dissociable into cognitive and affective sub-systems.

Functional brain correlates of social and nonsocial processes in autism spectrum disorders: an activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis.

TL;DR: An objective, unbiased survey of functional brain abnormalities in ASD, related to both social and nonsocial processing, provides a basis for targeted extensions of these findings with younger subjects and a range of paradigms, including analyses of default mode network regulation in ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The insula and drug addiction: an interoceptive view of pleasure, urges, and decision-making.
TL;DR: A novel theoretical framework for addiction is proposed in which the insula represents the interoceptive effects of drug taking, making this information available to conscious awareness, memory and executive functions.

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.
