Convergent and selective representations of pain, appetitive processes, aversive processes, and cognitive control in the insula

2025-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Regions that respond to multiple types of information (“convergence zones”) are crucial for the brain to generate coherent experiences and behaviors. The insular cortex, known for its functional diversity, has been hypothesized to be a key convergence hub, yet empirical evidence identifying how and where convergence occurs is incomplete. To address this gap, we analyzed functional convergence across four key task...
