Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness (2013, background): “…that the insular cortex works closely with a network of regions, including the ACC (Critchley, 2004; Critchley et al., 2004; Medford and Critchley, 2010; Fan et al., 2011; Denny et al., 2012; Lindquist et al., 2012), somatosensory cortex (Gu et al., 2013), and amygdala (Etkin and Wager, 2007).”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, methodology): “Notably, DMPFC tends to be more activated when individuals reflect on others as compared with themselves (Denny et al., 2012; Murray et al., 2012; van der Meer et al., 2010; Van Overwalle, 2009; Wagner et al., 2012), suggesting preferential involvement in evaluating others’ mental states rather…”
