• Why fish do not feel pain (2016, background): “The observations of the patients described by Damasio et al. (2012) and Feinstein et al. (2015) have to be placed within the context of other patients with cortical lesions.”
• Investigating the Phenomenological Matrix of Mindfulness-related Practices from a Neurocognitive Perspective (2015, background): “…this view, Craig (2009, 2010) and Damasio (Damasio, 1996) proposed a model where the insula, in interactions with the thalamus and brainstem (Damasio & Carvalho, 2013), instantiates, from moment-to-moment, high-order neural representation of all subjectively perceived feelings central for…”
• Insects have the capacity for subjective experience (2016, background): “The conclusion that feelings are perceived subcortically (Panksepp, 2011; Damasio and Carvalho, 2013) then becomes questionable, especially when it is based upon observations of a heterogenous and small”
• Bodily maps of emotions (2013, background): “” Both classic (3) and more recent (4, 5) models of emotional processing assume that subjective emotional feelings are triggered by the perception of emotion-related bodily states that reflect changes in the skeletomuscular, neuroendocrine, and autonomic nervous systems (1).”
• Pleasure systems in the brain (2015, background): “…likely appeared first during evolution , with subjective affective reactions following in some species , via the evolution of more elaborate and hierarchical brain mesocorticolimbic circuitry to translate core ''liking'' reactions into conscious feelings of pleasure (Damasio and Carvalho, 2013).”
• The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization (2017, positive): “…the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, through the nucleus of the solitary tract, the parabrachial nucleus, the periaqueductal gray and finally to the ventral posterior thalamus, before arriving in granular layer IV of the primary interoceptive insular cortex (Damasio and Carvalho, 2013; Craig, 2015).”
• Distributed Attention and Shared Emotions in the Innovation Process (2016, background): “The target need not be physically present: recalled and imagined targets can also trigger emotion, as can abstract concepts such as money and power (e.g., Ellsworth and Scherer, 2003; Damasio and Carvalho, 2013).”
• A computational and neural model of momentary subjective well-being (2014, result): “This finding of a relationship between a subjective state and activity in right anterior insula is strikingly consistent with prior evidence that this area supports interoceptive (28, 29) and emotional awareness (30, 31).”
• The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory (2017, background): “Because the generation of emotional feelings requires a neural remapping of different features of the body state in the CNS, resulting from cognitive “appraisal” where the anterior insular cortex plays a key integrative role (Craig and Craig, 2009; Damasio and Carvalho, 2013).”
