How to investigate perceptual projection: a commentary on Pereira Jr., “The projective theory of consciousness: from neuroscience to philosophical psychology” by Max Velmans

“…In his target article, he draws on my own earlier work to develop an explanatory framework for integrating first-person viewable conscious experience with the third-person viewable neural correlates and antecedent causes that form conscious experience into a bipolar structure that contains both a sense of self (created by interoceptive projective processes) and a sense of the world (created by exteroceptive projective processes). …”

Six Decades of Dopamine Hypothesis: Is Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor the New D2? by Adonis Sfera

“…Aryl hydrocarbon receptors, expressed by the gut and blood–brain barrier, respond to a variety of endogenous and exogenous ligands, including dopamine, probably participating in interoceptive awareness, a feed-back loop, conveying intestinal barrier status to the insular cortex. …”

The relationship between alexithymia and Nyght Eating Syndrome by F. Micanti, E. Amoroso, M. Vannini, C. Ricci, G. Spennato, M. D’Ambrosio, M. Billeci, H. Lamberti

“…Image: Image 2: Conclusions In patients with NES, alexithymia significantly predicts poor interoceptive awareness, thus explaining excessive nocturnal food intake. …”

Whole brain correlates of individual differences in skin conductance responses during discriminative fear conditioning to social cues by Kevin Vinberg, Jörgen Rosén, Granit Kastrati, Fredrik Ahs

“…We suggest that the observed whole brain correlates of SCR belong to a large-scale midcingulo-insular network related to salience detection and autonomic-interoceptive processing. Altered activity within this network may underlie individual differences in conditioned SCR and autonomic aspects of psychopathology.…”

Neuronal Activity during Exposure to Specific Phobia through fMRI: Comparing Therapeutic Components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Ascensión Fumero, Rosario J. Marrero, Teresa Olivares, Francisco Rivero, Yolanda Alvarez-Pérez, Carmen Pitti, Wenceslao Peñate

“…In particular, in the E group, compared to the experimental conditions, an activation was observed in sensory-perceptive and prefrontal and in other regions involved in the triggering of emotion (i.e., amygdala, supplementary motor area, and cingulate gyrus) as well as an activation associated with interoceptive sensitivity (i.e., insula and cingulate cortex). …”

A latent serotonin-1A receptor-gated spinal afferent pathway inhibiting breathing by Yang, Liang, Song, Gang, Ning, Yinghui, Poon, Chi-Sang

“…Small-interfering RNA knockdown of 5-HT[subscript 1A]Rs in lumbar spinal cord unequivocally localized the site of 5-HT[subscript 1A]R-mediated gating of these respiratory-inhibiting interoceptive afferents to relay neurons in the spinal superficial dorsal horn at the lumbar level and not cervical spinal or supraspinal levels. …”

Oxytocin and Food Intake Control: Neural, Behavioral, and Signaling Mechanisms by Clarissa M. Liu, Mai O. Spaulding, Jessica J. Rea, Emily E. Noble, Scott E. Kanoski

“…The research supports a framework through which oxytocin reduces food intake via amplification of within-meal physiological satiation signals rather than by altering between-meal interoceptive hunger and satiety states. We also emphasize the distributed neural sites of action for oxytocin’s effects on food intake and review evidence supporting the notion that central oxytocin is communicated throughout the brain, at least in part, through humoral-like volume transmission. …”

Food Addiction among Female Patients Seeking Treatment for an Eating Disorder: Prevalence and Associated Factors by Marie Fauconnier, Morgane Rousselet, Paul Brunault, Elsa Thiabaud, Sylvain Lambert, Bruno Rocher, Gaëlle Challet-Bouju, Marie Grall-Bronnec

“…An FA diagnosis was independently associated with three variables: presence of recurrent episodes of binge eating, ED severity, and lower interoceptive awareness. In showing an overlap between ED and FA, this study allows for considering EDs, and AN-R in particular, from an “addictive point of view”, and thus for designing therapeutic management that draws from those proposed for addictive disorders.…”
