讲座内容：
Cognition is defined as an ensemble of mental processes, including language, memory, attention, and problem solving, while emotion refers to subjective experience, associated with physiological and behavioral changes, related to interaction with the internal and external environment. Many contemporary theories suggest that these processes work via separate, and often competing, processes. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that there are cognitive and emotional components to most human experiences and that they are potentially integrative rather than parallel. By manipulating the emotional intensity (the level of empathetic emotion: no pain vs. pain) and the cognitive processing load (low vs. high load: body part vs. laterality judgments), we have identified behavioral and functional neuroanatomical interactions. Specifically, we have shown that cognitive and affective processes involve common brain structures, such as the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the anterior insula (AI). However, cognition-emotion integration occurs in the AI, not in the ACC. Lesion of the AI, but not the ACC, is associated with the deficit of cognition-emotion integration. These findings suggest that the AI functions as a hub of cognition-emotion integration to mediate subjective experience while the ACC works to implement related cognitive control. The main results from three experiments will be reported in this talk and the roles of other brain regions/networks in cognition-emotion integration will also be discussed.
