Neural correlates of voluntary and involuntary risk taking in the human brain: An fMRI Study of the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART) (2008, background): “…insula activation during decision-making and suggested that the insulamay be the critical brain region to instantiate anticipatory aversive somatic markers that regulate risky decision-making (Paulus et al., 2003; Bechara and Damasio, 2005; Kuhnen and Knutson, 2005; Preuschoff et al., 2006).”
Triadic model of the neurobiology of motivated behavior in adolescence (2005, background): “…and computational aspects), particularly within somatosensory, insula, orbital frontal, and parietal cortices (Dehaene et al. 1999; Ernst et al. 2003; Paulus et al. 2003, 2005; Bechara, 2004; McCoy & Platt, 2005; Nieder, 2005), can also be critical to the distinct features of adolescent behavior.”
When less means more: deactivations during encoding that predict subsequent memory (2004, background): “Other studies have associated insular activations with emotional stress and arousal (Chua et al., 1999; Liotti et al., 2000; Paulus et al., 2003; Rauch et al., 1997; Tillfors et al., 2001).”
The Influence of Affect on Beliefs, Preferences and Financial Decisions (2009, positive): “…(Bjork et al. (2004), Martinez, Slifstein, Broft, Malawi, Hwang, Huang, Cooper, Kegeles, Zarahn, Abi-Dargham, Haber, and Laruelle (2003)), and that anterior insula activation correlates with negative arousal ratings (Paulus, Rogalsky, Simmons, Feinstein, and Stein (2003), Simmons et al. (2004)).”
The neural basis of empathy. (2012, background): “Indeed, these studies have also shown AI activations during the processing of risk, risk prediction error, and uncertainty in decision making (Grinband et al. 2006, Huettel et al. 2006, Kuhnen & Knutson 2005, Paulus et al. 2003, Preuschoff et al. 2008).”
An insular view of anxiety. (2006, background): “…is correlated with both harm voidance and neuroticism, that anticipation of emotionally versive stimuli activates right insular cortex (Paulus et al 2003), hat anxiety-prone individuals have bilaterally increased insula ctivation during emotion processing (Stein et al 2006), and that…”
Effects of motivation on reward and attentional networks: an fMRI study (2012, background): “This thesis is supported by reports that activation of the frontal insula may be linked to choosing “safe” strategies following punishment and the mental representation of affective reaction to reward outcomes (Paulus et al. 2003), as well as to emotional experiences of uncertainty about possible re”

Neural systems implicated in delayed and probabilistic reinforcement (2006, background): “, 2001), while the insula represents predictions of loss (see also Paulus, Rogalsky, Simmons, Feinstein, and Stein (2003)); activation in both structures is related to personality measures of harm avoidance (Paulus et al., 2003; Matthews et al., 2004).”

Human Insula Activation Reflects Risk Prediction Errors As Well As Risk (2008, background): “This finding is consistent with previous studies that have identified uncertainty-related activation in insula (Elliott et al., 2000; Critchley et al., 2001; Ernst et al., 2002; Paulus et al., 2003; Hsu et al., 2005; Huettel et al., 2005, 2006; Grinband et al., 2006).”
A Neurological Study of Compulsive Buying Behaviour (2011, background): “On the other hand, numerous studies reveal that anticipation of pain and/or punishment activates the insula, among other areas, and that insula activation correlates with selfreported negative arousal (Bechara and Damasio 2005; Buchel and Dolan 2000; Knutson et al. 2011 ;O ’Doherty et al. 2001: Plog”
