This page covers biological details of component group Insular Cortex. Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to center: Cerebral Cortex -> Temporal Lobe (NC.LOBE.TEMP) -> Insular Cortex (NC.INS) (see Mind Maps)
- Function: Visceral representation, pain, habits
- Notes to function: Interoception, merges tactile and auditory streams

Components
(generated)
Component items:
- Posterior Insular Cortex (NCP.NC.INS.PIC): Awareness and sensation of pain
- Anterior Insular Cortex (NCP.NC.INS.AIC): Risky and moral decision making, articulation
- Anterior Temporal Lobe (NCP.NC.INS.HR): Relaying blood pressure and blood chemistry information to brain
- Peripaleocortical Claustral (NCP.NC.INS.PPC): Relays proprioception
