The man who feels two hearts: the different pathways of interoception [PDF]
Recent advances in neuroscience have provided new insights into the understanding of heart–brain interaction and communication. Cardiac information to the brain relies on two pathways, terminating in the insular cortex (IC) and anterior cingulate cortex (

Alexithymia is a psychological trait characterized by difficulty expressing emotions. Previous studies reported that individuals with higher alexithymia have a decreased sense of interoception, which is the sense of monitoring and controlling internal ...

Probing corporeal awareness in women through virtual reality induction of embreathment illusion
We capitalized on the respiratory bodily illusion that we discovered in a previous study and called ‘Embreathment’ where we showed that breathing modulates corporeal awareness in men.

Dwelling Quietly in the Rich Club: Brain Network Determinants of Slow Cortical Fluctuations
For more than a century, cerebral cartography has been driven by investigations of structural and morphological properties of the brain across spatial scales and the temporal/functional phenomena that emerge from these underlying features.

Phase confusion: how inconsistent cardiac labelling obscures interoception research
Research on the interaction between interoception and external sensory processing has grown rapidly, with a key focus on how different phases of the cardiac cycle (systole and diastole) affect stimulus processing. This typically involves synchronizing stimulus presentation with specific cardiac phases.

Parental caregiving during infancy is primarily aimed at the regulation of infants' physiological and emotional states. Recent models of embodied cognition propose that interoception, i.e., the perception of internal bodily states, may influence the ...

Cardiac interoception in action: Modulation after a stress induction with a speech task
Objective: Interoception has mostly been examined at rest and as a trait variable. However, preliminary research suggests that interoceptive processes might fluctuate in response to external demands. This study aimed to investigate whether cardiac interoception would change in response to acute stress.

Heart–Brain Axis: A Narrative Review of the Interaction between Depression and Arrhythmia
Arrhythmias and depression are recognized as diseases of the heart and brain, respectively, and both are major health threats that often co-occur with a bidirectional causal relationship.
