A common role of insula in feelings, empathy and uncertainty. (2009, unknown): “[16]). Bilateral AI is similarly engaged when one tastes or sees other people taste, unpleasant and, notably, pleasant drinks [ 8 ].”
Two systems for empathy: a double dissociation between emotional and cognitive empathy in inferior frontal gyrus versus ventromedial prefrontal lesions. (2009, background): “, 2008) and emotional empathy (Jabbi et al., 2007; Schulte-Ruther et al., 2007) as well.”
Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness (2013, unknown): “The following contrasts were identified as empathy for positive emotions: “overlap between sucrose–saliva and pleasant faces–neutral faces” (Jabbi et al., 2007) and “correlation of happy > neutral contrast with EQ” (Chakrabarti et al., 2006).”
Is emotional contagion special? An fMRI study on neural systems for affective and cognitive empathy (2008, background): “Moreover, as participants' self-reported empathy skills predict insular responses to perception of others positive and negative gustatory emotions (Jabbi et al., 2007), it is likely that the insular cortex plays a key role in transforming observed emotional states into experienced states.”
The neural basis of empathy. (2012, background): “Extending these findings to the domain of taste, Keysers’s group observed correlations between fronto-insular activations and several IRI subscales when subjects witnessed disgusted and pleased facial expressions ( Jabbi et al. 2007).”
Empathic brain responses in insula are modulated by levels of alexithymia but not autism (2010, background): “Thus, activation of brain areas relevant for emotion processing such as somatosensory, insular and anterior cingulate cortices have been observed during empathy (Carr et al., 2003; Wicker et al., 2003; Keysers et al., 2004; Morrison et al., 2004; Singer et al., 2004, 2006, 2008; Jackson et al., 2005”
Mirroring others' emotions relates to empathy and interpersonal competence in children (2008, background): “, 2004), activity in these regions was also found to be significantly correlated with children’s tendency to empathize (for similar hypotheses about the relation between shared neural representations and empathy, see also Lamm et al., 2007; Jabbi et al., 2007; Saarela et al., 2006; Singer et al., 20”
A Convergent Functional Architecture of the Insula Emerges Across Imaging Modalities (2012, unknown): “…speech; e.g., Ackermann and Riecker, 2010; Nestor et al., 2003), emotion (particularly empathy and disgust; e.g., Adolphs et al., 2003; Jabbi et al., 2007; Singer et al., 2009; Wicker et al., 2003), and cognition (including attention and language processing; e.g., Chee et al., 2004;…”
