TLDR
An updated/expanded version of the NVI model is presented that incorporates recent advances in functional neuroanatomy, and a class of computational models of brain function known as "predictive coding" models are illustrated to increase understanding of the relationship between vagal control and both cognitive performance and emotional/physical health.

The Vagus Nerve at the Interface of the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis.

TL;DR: Targeting the VN, for example through VN stimulation which has anti-inflammatory properties, would be of interest to restore homeostasis in the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Interoception and Mental Health: A Roadmap

TL;DR: An overview of the emerging consensus generated by the first Interoception Summit is presented, with the goal of accelerating progress in understanding the role of interoception in mental health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heart-Rate Variability-More than Heart Beats?

TL;DR: Heart-rate variability is usually seen as associated with a good health condition, whereas lowered variability might signify pathological changes, which might explain why lower HRV parameters were related to decreased life expectancy in several studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visceral Signals Shape Brain Dynamics and Cognition.

TL;DR: How the heart and gastrointestinal tract intrinsically generate their own electrical activity, thereby continuously sending information to the brain, is discussed in relation to interpretative frameworks regarding the functional role of visceral inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent Physical Symptoms as Perceptual Dysregulation: A Neuropsychobehavioral Model and Its Clinical Implications

TL;DR: Following this model, persistent physical symptoms can be described as “failures of inference” and clinically well-known factors such as expectation are assigned a role, not only in the later amplification of bodily signals but also in the very basis of symptom perception.

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.

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease

TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging field of emotion regulation: An integrative review.

TL;DR: The emerging field of emotion regulation studies how individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express them as mentioned in this paper, and characterizes emotion in terms of response tendencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

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 free-energy principle: a unified brain theory?

TL;DR: This Review looks at some key brain theories in the biological and physical sciences from the free-energy perspective, suggesting that several global brain theories might be unified within a free- energy framework.
