Thank you so much for reading and highlighting! There are so many exciting discoveries to be made in this context, we can only manage as a community!

Heartbeat tuning increased during both appetitive and aversive emotion states, a process not simply explained by increases in heart rate. Manipulation of sympathetic cardiac arousal using beta-adrenergic blockade disrupted neuronal encoding of emotion states in the pInsCtx and blunted behavioral and bodily emotion expression

Exciting new work by @merylneuro.bsky.social et al unpacking how sensory info from the heart impacts the processing of emotions in the brain, focused on one of the most mysterious and fascinating brain regions, Insula.
