Abstract
The von Economo and fork neurons are atypical cortical projection neurons. They occur in insular and cingulate cortical areas that interface homeostatic bodily states with high-order brain functions. Their recent discovery in the macaque monkey offers a unique opportunity to examine the neurocellular basis of interoception in cognitive processes including perceptual awareness and perhaps language.
