On the embodiment of emotion regulation: interoceptive awareness facilitates reappraisal
TLDR
It is found that reappraisal was accompanied by reduced arousal and significant modulation of late neural responses, and higher IA facilitated downregulation of affect and was associated with more pronounced modulation of underlying neural activity.Abstract:
The ability to cognitively regulate emotional responses to aversive events is essential for mental and physical health. One prerequisite of successful emotion regulation is the awareness of emotional states, which in turn is associated with the awareness of bodily signals [interoceptive awareness (IA)]. This study investigated the neural dynamics of reappraisal of emotional responses in 28 participants who differed with respect to IA. Electroencephalography was used to characterize the time course of emotion regulation. We found that reappraisal was accompanied by reduced arousal and significant modulation of late neural responses. What is more, higher IA facilitated downregulation of affect and was associated with more pronounced modulation of underlying neural activity. Therefore, we conclude that IA not only advances the consolidation of somatic markers required for guiding individual behaviour but also creates processing advantages in tasks referring to these bodily markers.read more

TL;DR: A review of the current status and future prospects of the field of emotion regulation can be found in this paper, where the authors define emotion and emotion regulation and distinguish both from related constructs.

Regulatory Flexibility: An Individual Differences Perspective on Coping and Emotion Regulation.
TL;DR: A heuristic individual differences framework is proposed and research on three sequential components of flexibility for which propensities and abilities vary are reviewed: sensitivity to context, availability of a diverse repertoire of regulatory strategies, and responsiveness to feedback.

Emotion regulation and psychopathology.
TL;DR: This review presents an extended process model of emotion regulation, and uses this model to describe key points at which emotion-regulation difficulties can lead to various forms of psychopathology.

A conceptual framework for the neurobiological study of resilience
TL;DR: This work proposes a unified theoretical framework for the neuroscientific study of general resilience mechanisms and posits that a positive (non-negative) appraisal style is the key mechanism that protects against the detrimental effects of stress and mediates the effects of other known resilience factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interoception and emotion.
TL;DR: This work describes the afferent signalling, central processing, and neural and mental representation of internal bodily signals in interoception, and describes the recognition of dissociable psychological dimensions of interoceptions.

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.

TL;DR: Five studies tested two general hypotheses: Individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships.

Cognitive and emotional influences in anterior cingulate cortex
TL;DR: Various findings are reviewed in relation to the idea that ACC is a part of a circuit involved in a form of attention that serves to regulate both cognitive and emotional processing, and how the success of this regulation in controlling responses might be correlated with cingulate size.

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.
