Abstract Interoception is sensation for the internal state of the body. Changes in the internal state of the body, such as the activity of internal organs and associated sensations and pain, are the instances of this sensation. It has been rapidly recognized over the past two decades and has come to attract attention as one of the elements underlying various mental functions. This paper outlines the definition of interoception, the systems of manifestation and dynamic regulation of interoception, the neural basis of interoception and methods of assessment.
Keywords interoception, insular cortex
