Interoception

Vagal tone sets your capacity for social engagement through the ventral vagal pathway and heart-rate variability. See how the nervous...

The somatic marker hypothesis shows how the body biases choice before conscious reasoning, through the vmPFC and amygdala. See how...

The insular cortex turns visceral signal into felt emotion along a posterior-to-anterior gradient. See how interoception shapes self-awareness.

The heartbeat evoked potential is the brain's cortical response to each heartbeat. See how it indexes interoceptive accuracy and emotional...

Self-awareness depends on the default mode network coupling with interoception. See what happens when that link weakens, and how it...

What the anterior cingulate cortex does: error detection, salience, interoception, and cognitive control. A clear guide to ACC function.

Physical pain after a breakup is your brain running opioid withdrawal: social loss firing the same circuits that register broken...
