The anterior insular cortex (aIC) is a core region that integrates interoceptive states and emotional awareness and consequently guides behavioral responses. Here, we demonstrate that the right-side aIC CamKII<sup>+</sup> (aIC<sup>CamKII</sup>) neurons in mice are activated by aversive visceral signa ...[more]
