Abstract
âºThe anterior insular cortex is functionally strongly connected to areas known for affective and cognitive pain processing. âºThe posterior insular cortex is more strongly connected with areas known for sensory-discriminative processing of noxious and somatosensory stimuli. âºThese findings support the central role of the insula in pain and thermoception and corroborate the view of the insula as a multidimensional integration side for pain.
