Functions of Interoception: From Energy Regulation to Experience of the Self

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on several exemplar functions of interoception, including energy regulation (ingestion and excretion), memory, affective and emotional experience, and psychological sense of self.
Journal ArticleDOI

Précis on The Cognitive-Emotional Brain.

TL;DR: The book summarizes five areas of research that support a integrative view of emotion and cognition and makes four arguments to organize each area.

From the body's viscera to the body's image: Is there a link between interoception and body image concerns?

TL;DR: The suggested link between interoception and body image can inform new empirically testable hypotheses on the underlying neurocognitive processes that are central to body image concerns and disturbances, and motivate relevant clinical implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulations of the experience of self and time

TL;DR: The body of empirical work within different conceptual frameworks on the intricate relationship between self and time is presented and discussed and a decreased awareness of the self is associated with diminished awareness of time.

Investigating Misophonia: A Review of the Empirical Literature, Clinical Implications, and a Research Agenda.

TL;DR: The aims of this review are to characterize the current state of the field of research on misophonia, highlight what can be inferred from the small research literature to inform treatment of individuals with misphonia, and outline an agenda for research on this topic.

How do you feel--now? The anterior insula and human awareness.

TL;DR: New findings suggest a fundamental role for the AIC (and the von Economo neurons it contains) in awareness, and thus it needs to be considered as a potential neural correlate of consciousness.

The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness

TL;DR: The Feeling of What Happens as mentioned in this paper is a theory of the nature of consciousness and the construction of the self, which is the feeling of what happens-our mind noticing the body's reaction to the world and responding to that experience.

Cognitive, social, and physiological determinants of emotional state.

TL;DR: The problem of which cues, internal or external, permit a person to label and identify his own emotional state has been with us since the days that James (1890) first tendered his doctrine that "the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion" (p. 449) as mentioned in this paper.

How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.

TL;DR: 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.

Saliency, switching, attention and control: a network model of insula function

TL;DR: It is suggested that this framework provides a parsimonious account of insula function in neurotypical adults, and may provide novel insights into the neural basis of disorders of affective and social cognition.
