Abstract To define the systemic neuroimmune interactions in health and disease, we recently suggested immunoception as a term that refers to existence of bidirectional functional loops between brain immune system. This concept suggests constantly monitors changes activity and, turn, can regulate system generate physiologically synchronized response. Therefore, has represent information regarding state system, which occure multiple ways. One such representation is an immunengram, trace partially stored by neurons local tissue. review will discuss our current understanding immunengrams, focusing on their manifestation specific region, insular cortex (IC).

While interoception is of major neuroscientific interest, its precise definition and delineation from exteroception continue to be debated. Here, we propose a functional distinction between based on computational concepts sensor-effector loops. Under this view, the classification sensory inputs as serving or depends loop they feed into, for control either bodily (physiological biochemical) environmental states. We explain utility perspective by examining perception skin temperature, one most challenging cases distinguishing exteroception. Specifically, conceptualising thermoception inference about thermal state body (including skin), which directly coupled thermoregulatory processes. This view emphasises coupling regulation (control) defining property (inference) connects contemporary theories brain-body interactions.

Interoception, the neural sensing of visceral signals, and interoceptive awareness (IA), conscious perception interoception, are crucial for life survival functions mental health. Resilience, capacity to overcome adversity, has been associated with reduced disturbances. Here, we sought evidence our Insula Modular Active Control (IMAC) model that suggest insula, a brain region specialized in processing information, realizes IA contributes resilience health via cortico-subcortical connections.

Interactions between top-down attention and bottom-up visceral inputs are assumed to produce conscious perceptions of interoceptive states, while each process has been independently associated with aberrant symptomatology in psychiatric disorders, the neural substrates this interface unknown. We conducted a preregistered functional neuroimaging study 46 individuals anxiety, depression, and/or eating disorders (ADE) propensity-matched healthy comparisons (HC), comparing their activity across two tasks differentially recruiting or processing within same scan session. During an task, was voluntarily directed towards cardiorespiratory visual signals. In contrast, during perturbation intravenous infusions isoproterenol (a peripherally-acting beta-adrenergic receptor agonist) were administered double-blinded placebo-controlled fashion drive sensations. Across both tasks, activation converged upon insular cortex, localizing granular ventral dysgranular subregions bilaterally. However, contrasting hemispheric differences emerged, ADE group exhibiting (relative HCs) asymmetric pattern overlap left insula, increased decreased proportions co-activated voxels right respectively. The also showed less agranular anterior insula periods bodily uncertainty (i.e. when anticipating possible isoproterenol-induced changes that never arrived). Finally, post-task connectivity anxiety depression severity. These findings confirm mid-insula as key cortical where prediction meet real-time inputs, especially heightened awareness states. Furthermore, may indeed be ‘locus disruption’ for disorders.
