Until recently the insula has been a little known, largely unnoticed part of the brain tucked deep within the cortex. However, with the advancement of neuroimaging techniques, its vital roles have slowly been uncovered. It is a window into our self and others. It is key to self-awareness, motivation and addiction and empathy. Still, much is still unknown about this vital island buried deep inside our brains.
