Hmmm. Did the studies look at VENs within the anterior cingulate as well? Perhaps the latter location is related to social intuition, and not so much the insular cortex.

What other cell is active during the 'fast intuitive assessment of complex social situations' (aka intuition), reading mental states, and a whole host of social situations? <BR/><BR/>Absolutely fascinating. The best thing since mirror neurons! Actually better because we can SEE VENs!<BR/><BR/>Its interesting that in Autism there have been conflicting neuropathology reports. One group found no reduction in VEN number in the Frontoinsular cortex, another group had an impression there was an increased numbers of VENs, and VENs located in cortical layers other than Vb and in white matter. Given that autism is a neurodevelopmental, social disorder wouldn't we expect to see a decreased number of these cells?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
