Sensing internal bodily signals, or interoception, is fundamental to maintain life. However,
interoception should not be viewed as an isolated domain, as it interacts with exteroception …

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 …

Emotional states influence bodily physiology, as exemplified in the top-down process by
which anxiety causes faster beating of the heart,–. However, whether an increased heart …

Progress in understanding brain–viscera interoceptive signaling is hindered by a dearth of
implantable devices suitable for probing both brain and peripheral organ neurophysiology …

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

A century-long debate on bodily states and emotions persists. While the involvement of
bodily activity in emotion physiology is widely recognized, the specificity and causal role of …

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

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 …

We propose and empirically support a parsimonious account of intrinsic, brain-wide
spatiotemporal organization arising from traveling waves linked to arousal. We hypothesize …

We review recent work on the functions of interoceptive processing, by which the nervous
system anticipates, senses, and integrates signals originating from the body. We focus on …
