Meditation experience is associated with increased cortical thickness (2005, background): “Structural measures of gray matter volume of the right anterior insula predict accuracy of objective measures of interoceptive performance, as well as subjective ratings of global visceral awareness [21].”
Are Emotions Natural Kinds? (2006, neutral): “…are interoceptively sensitive (measured using a heartbeat detection task) report experiencing more intense emotion than those who are insensitive (Critchley, Wiens, Rotshtein, O¨hman, & Dolan, 2004; Wiens, Mezzacappa, & Katkin, 2000),and also emphasize feelings of activation and deactivation…”
The iterative reprocessing model: A multilevel framework for attitudes and evaluation. (2007, background): “Given direct connections between the insula and amygdala, the represented bodily state can be integrated into subsequent iterations of evaluative processing (Damasio, 1994; 1996, Critchley, Wiens, Rotshtein, Ohman, & Dolan, 2004; see also Rolls, 2000).”
Two systems of resting state connectivity between the insula and cingulate cortex (2009, background): “…et al., 2000; Davis et al., 2004; Olausson et al., 2005), emotion (Buchel et al., 1998; Phillips et al., 1998), salience (Downar et al., 2000; Downar et al., 2002; Downar et al., 2003), and during subjective evaluation of autonomic function (i.e., heart beat detection) (Critchley et al., 2004).”
Understanding Others: Brain Mechanisms of Theory of Mind and Empathy (2008, background): “…focusing on the relationship between peripheral measures of arousal and brain activity give robust evidence for the crucial role of rostral ACC and AI cortices in the representation of internal bodily states of arousal as well as the awareness of these states (Critchley et al., 2001, 2003, 2004).”
How do you feel — now? The anterior insula and human awareness (2009, background): “reported functional MRI (fMRI) and morphometric data indicating a specific role for the right AIC in heartbeat awarenes”
Fundamentals of physiological computing (2009, background): “…process wherein physiological activity provides one source of data input among others (e.g., context, beliefs) and expression of these data with respect to self-awareness is vulnerable to the vagaries of self-perception and selective attention (Craig, 2004; Critchley et al., 2004; Dolan, 2002 ).”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, neutral): “The heritage of Darwin’s and James’s views strongly influenced contemporary neuroscientists, who mostly accept the experience/expression dichotomy, considering the emotional experience as a specific type of sensory activity (Craig 2002; Critchley et al. 2004; Damasio 1999).”
Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion (2012, neutral): “…functional gradient in the insula with posterior regions associated with primary representations of sensations from the body and anterior regions associated interoceptive awareness of the body and in motivational and affective states, like disgust, that have a strong visceral component 51, 53-57 .”
What is the function of the claustrum? (2005, background): “compared with the thin (5 mm or less) width of the sheet of claustrum neurons, and the known involvement of the nearby insula in interoceptive awareness of bodily states (Craig 2002; Critchley et al. 2004), it is uncertain as to what extent these signals correspond to a specific neural activity in t”
The ecology of human fear: survival optimization and the nervous system (2015, background): “According to the “risk allocation hypothesis,” risk of predatory attack changes over time and this has a direct effect upon intensity of vigilance and time spent foraging (Lima, 1990).”
