Centrally integrated bodily feedback, or interoception, influences emotional experience. Brain imaging shows key brain areas involved in interoception correlate with emotional traits, suggesting its role in how we feel emotions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Theories of emotion often link physiological feedback to emotional experience.
  • Interoception, the perception of internal bodily states, is central to this discussion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advances in interoception theory and brain-imaging research.
  • To describe a hypothetical model of interoception's role in emotional experience.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on interoception and emotion.
  • Analysis of brain-imaging studies (e.g., fMRI) examining interoceptive and emotional processing.
  • Synthesis of findings into a theoretical model.

Main Results:

  • Peripheral autonomic changes are not essential for emotional experience.

  • Brain regions involved in interoception (anterior insula, anterior cingulate) show activation correlated with emotional traits.
  • A model distinguishing between emotional phenomenology and awareness is proposed, incorporating different levels of interoception.

    • Conclusions:

    • Centrally integrated bodily feedback plays a significant role in emotional experience, aligning with current emotion theories.
    • The proposed hypothetical model can guide future research on the neural correlates of emotion and interoception.
