Executive control is a complex high-level cognitive function that relies on distributed brain
circuitry. We propose that the anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in …

An increasing recognition that brain and body are dynamically coupled has enriched our
scientific understanding of mental health conditions. Peripheral signals interact centrally to …

Interoception has historically been assessed using behavioural tests of accuracy, self-report
measures or through the characterisation of neural signals underlying interoceptive …

Interoception is the sensing of internal bodily sensations. Interoception is an umbrella term
that encompasses (1) the afferent (body‐to‐brain) signaling through distinct neural and …

The inadequacy of a categorial approach to mental health diagnosis is now well-recognised,
with many authors, diagnostic manuals and funding bodies advocating a dimensional, trans …

Most research in cognitive neuroscience explores how external stimuli are processed by the
brain. However, the brain also receives input from the internal body. We discuss here how …

The brain is constantly bombarded by stimuli, and the relative salience of these inputs
determines which are more likely to capture attention. A brain system known as the'salience …

Supported by recent human neuroimaging studies, the insula is re-emerging as an important
brain area not only in the physiological understanding of the brain, but also in pathological …

An orientation to affective neuroscience as it relates to educators. In this ground-breaking
collection, Mary Helen Immordino-Yang—an affective neuroscientist, human development …

The concept of the brain as a prediction machine has enjoyed a resurgence in the context of
the Bayesian brain and predictive coding approaches within cognitive science. To date, this …
