Interoception refers to the representation of the internal states of an organism, and includes
the processes by which it senses, interprets, integrates, and regulates signals from within …

The present paper considers recent progress in our understanding of the afferent/ascending
neural pathways and neural circuits of interoception. Of particular note is the extensive role …

Increasing evidence suggests that mental health and physical health are linked by neural
systems that jointly regulate somatic physiology and high-level cognition. Key systems …

What changes in neural architecture account for the emergence and expansion of dexterity
in primates? Dexterity, or skill in performing motor tasks, depends on the ability to generate …

While research in specific academic disciplines has individually advanced knowledge and
practice for promoting multiple aspects of health and well-being in children and adolescents …

Behavior is tightly synchronized with bodily physiology. Internal needs from the body drive
behavior selection, while optimal behavior performance requires a coordinated …

Objective: The authors sought to determine the shared and unique changes in brain resting-
state functional connectivity (rsFC) between patients with major depressive disorder who …

Non-specific sympathetic arousal responses to different stressful elicitations can be easily
recognized from the analysis of physiological signals. However, neural patterns of …

The central nervous system both influences and is influenced by the gastrointestinal system.
Most research on this gut–brain connection has focused on how ascending signals from the …

The insula and the cingulate are key brain regions with many heterogenous functions. Both
regions are consistently shown to play integral roles in the processing of affective, cognitive …
