Insular Cortex

If you go to Wikipedia and look up insular cortex, it literally does everything. Which means that we don't understand what it does. So why is it insular? I guess because it only responds to internal sensations, right? I think insular. The insular capsule is a bunch of white meta that comes through. It's an insular tract. We've known for a while that you really need the insulars for this kind of association that results from the animal feeling sick. If you take out the insular cortex or you block theinsular cortex, that conditioning does not happen at all.
