Interim Conclusions

The interoceptive system can be driven in

a top-down manner through mental imagery

Only secondary areas of interoceptive cortex

showed significant activity

Developmental Conclusions

Regions of higher-order cortex showdevelopmental differences in activity duringmental imagery

Regions active during internal imagery inadults were hypoactive in adolescents

Final Conclusions

There is still much to investigate and explore

Mental imagery can be used to explore interoception

Areas supporting this processing are still developing

Interoceptive sensory processing is separable, unique
