The Neural Basis of Fear Promotes Anger and Sadness Counteracts Anger by Jun Zhan, Jingyuan Ren, Pei Sun, Jin Fan, Chang Liu, Jing Luo

“…A way to test this assumption is to examine the selective involvement of the posterior insula (PI) and the anterior insula (AI) in sadness and fear because the posterior-to-anterior progression theory of insular function suggests that the role of the PI is to encode primary body feeling and that of the AI is to represent the integrative feeling that incorporates the internal and external input together. …”
