Abstract
Craig updates interoception — the anterior insula integrates body-state signals into conscious feeling and awareness in his model.
Craig, A. D. (2009). Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 10(1), 59–70. DOI
Key findings
- Insula integration — Anterior insula maps visceral and thermal signals into unified conscious feeling.
- Awareness bridge — Interoceptive accuracy supports moment-to-moment awareness — body state before narrative.
Application
When feelings arrive as story first — the insula-level body read may have already started. See Granular Interoception.
