DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2020.07.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation have been considered as risk factors in the pathophysiology of mood disorders including bipolar disorder (BD). Previous neuroimaging studies have demonstrated metabolic, structural and functional abnormalities in the insula… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dcn.2017.12.006
Abstract: The insula is important for the processing of pleasant aspects of touch whereas its role in the processing of emotionally neutral touch has been less explored. Here, we used a network approach to investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2017.02.019
Abstract: BACKGROUND The strong craving to smoke is a core factor of smoking abstinence that precipitates relapse. Insula plays critical roles in maintaining nicotine dependence, especially in the interoceptive awareness of craving. Despite evidence indicating a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.01.073
Abstract: Abstract The human insula is implicated in numerous functions. More and more neuroimaging studies focus on this region, however no atlas offers a complete subdivision of the insula in a reference space. The aims of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2021.108021
Abstract: Perceiving, anticipating and responding to the actions of another person are fundamentally entwined processes such that seeing another's movement can prompt automatic imitation, as in social mimicry and contagious yawning. Yet the direct-matching of others'… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2017.02.002
Abstract: Supported by recent human neuroimaging studies, the insula is re-emerging as an important brain area not only in the physiological understanding of the brain, but also in pathological contexts in clinical research. In this opinion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0033291719003647
Abstract: Abstract Background Affective temperaments have been considered antecedents of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, little is known about how the covariation between alterations in brain activity and distinct affective temperaments work collaboratively to contribute to… read more here.
