Interoception, the sensing of internal bodily signals, is intricately linked with the experience of emotions. Various theoretical models of emotion incorporate aspects of interoception as a fundamental component alongside higher-order processes such as the appraisal of internal signals guided by external context. Interoception can be delineated into different dimensions, which include the nature of afferent signals, the accuracy with which they can be sensed, their neural processing, and the higher-order interpretation of these signals. This review methodically evaluates these interoceptive dimensions through empirical research to illustrate their role in shaping emotions. Clinical and neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by altered emotional profiles, such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress disorder, emotionally unstable personality disorder, and autism, exhibit distinct changes in interoception. Various therapeutic approaches, including behavioral, pharmacological, and psychological strategies, may be efficacious for treating conditions associated with emotional alterations by targeting interoceptive mechanisms.

内感受机制和情绪处理


内感受，即对身体内部信号的感知，与情绪的体验有着错综复杂的联系。各种情绪理论模型将内感受的各个方面作为基本组成部分，与更高阶的过程（例如由外部环境指导的内部信号的评估）相结合。内感受可以分为不同的维度，其中包括传入信号的性质、可以感应它们的准确性、它们的神经处理以及这些信号的高阶解释。本综述通过实证研究系统地评估这些内感受维度，以说明它们在塑造情绪中的作用。以情绪特征改变为特征的临床和神经发育状况，如焦虑、抑郁、精神分裂症、创伤后应激障碍、情绪不稳定的人格障碍和自闭症，表现出明显的内感受变化。各种治疗方法，包括行为、药理学和心理策略，可能通过靶向内感受机制有效治疗与情绪改变相关的疾病。
