Self-control and interoception: Linking the neural substrates of craving regulation and the prediction of aversive interoceptive states induced by inspiratory breathing restriction by Henrik Walter, Anne Kausch, Lena Dorfschmidt, Lea Waller, Narges Chinichian, Ilya Veer, Kevin Hilbert, Ulrike Lüken, Martin P. Paulus, Thomas Goschke, Johann D. Kruschwitz

“…To this end, we used fMRI and a within-subject design including an inspiratory breathing-load task to examine the prediction of aversive interoceptive perturbation and a craving-regulation for palatable foods task to measure self-control. In this current study, we could successfully replicate previous effects with an independent sample (n ​= ​39) and observed that individuals who ‘over-estimated’ their upcoming interoceptive state with respect to experienced dyspnea (i.e., anticipated versus experienced) were more effective in the down-regulation of craving using negative future-thinking strategies. …”

“…It is generally accepted that during the domestication of food plants, selection was focused on their productivity, the ease of their technological processing into food, and resistance to pathogens and environmental stressors. Besides, the palatability of plant foods and their health benefits could also be subjected to selection by humans in the past. …”
