Damasio proposes that emotions are part of multi-tiered, hierarchical and evolutionary set neural mechanisms aimed at maintaining organism homeostasis. Part of this mechanism and so-called emotional background is Craig’s interoception, the sense of the physiological condition of the body. Primates have a distinct cortical image of homeostatic afferent activity in the posterior insula. In humans there exists metarepresentation of the primary interoceptive activity in the anterior insula and other parts of the brain. Interoceptive awareness drives increased rational decision-making and enhances neural activity during empathy.
