Unlike emotions, which are short-lasting events accompanied by viscero-motor responses, vitality forms are continuous internal states that modulate the motor behaviors of individuals and are devoid of the autonomic modifications that characterize real emotions. Despite the importance of vitality forms in social life, only recently have neurophysiological studies been devoted to this issue. The first part of this review describes fMRI experiments, showing that the dorso-central insula is activated during the execution, the perception and the imagination of arm actions endowed with different vitality forms as well as during the hearing and the production of speech conveying vitality forms. In the second part, we address the means by which the dorso-central insula modulates the networks for controlling action execution and how the sensory and interoceptive information is conveyed to this insular sector. Finally, we present behavioral data showing the importance of vitality forms in social interactions.

生命力形式的神经基础

与情绪是伴随内脏运动反应的短暂事件不同，活力形式是持续的内部状态，可调节个体的运动行为，并且缺乏表征真实情绪的自主神经修饰。尽管活力形式在社会生活中很重要，但直到最近，神经生理学研究才致力于这个问题。本综述的第一部分描述了 fMRI 实验，表明背中岛叶在执行、感知和想象具有不同活力形式的手臂动作以及听觉和产生表达活力形式的言语过程中被激活。 . 在第二部分，我们解决了背中央岛叶调节网络以控制动作执行的方式，以及如何将感觉和内感受信息传送到这个岛叶部门。最后，我们展示了行为数据，显示了社交互动中活力形式的重要性。
