“…In contrast to the “blooming, buzzing confusion” envisaged by James (1890), the perception of regulatory signals is often assumed to be “basic,” “primordial,” or “innate” (e.g., Damasio, 1994, 2003a; Damasio & Carvalho, 2013; Denton, 2006; Denton, McKinley, Farrell, & Egan, 2009; Greene, 2007; Hurley, Dennett, & Adams, 2011). Nevertheless, there is little empirical backing for such claims (see Blumberg, 2005; Harshaw, 2008) and a number of eminent researchers and theorists have argued that the perception of alimentary signals of hunger and thirst, in particular, develop during the individual lifespan; that is, that infants must acquire knowledge that particular internal signals indicate needs for specific resources having particular exteroceptively perceptible sensory qualities and requiring particular behaviors to satisfy (Baldwin, 1896; Bruch, 1969, 1970; Buck, 1989a, 1989b; Craig, 1912, 1918; Hebb, 1949; Hall, Arnold, & Myers, 2000). …”

“…Bruch (e.g., 1969, 1970) argued that early interactions with caregivers in feeding contexts could shape the perception and interpretation of alimentary signals in adolescence and adulthood. Buck (e.g., 1989a) similarly points out that the process of learning to identify and label internal sensations differs fundamentally from that by which we learn about objects in the outside world (cf.…”

Depression is characterized by disturbed sleep and eating, a variety of other, nonspecific somatic symptoms, and significant somatic comorbidities. Why there is such close association between cognitive and somatic dysfunction in depression is nonetheless poorly understood. An explosion of research in the area of interoception—the perception and interpretation of bodily signals—over the last decade nonetheless holds promise for illuminating what have until now been obscure links between the social, cognitive-affective, and somatic features of depression. This paper reviews rapidly accumulating evidence that both somatic signaling and interoception are frequently altered in depression. This includes comparative studies showing vagus-mediated effects on depression-like behaviors in rodent models as well as studies in humans indicating both dysfunction in the neural substrates for interoception (e.g., vagus, insula, anterior cingulate cortex) and reduced sensitivity to bodily stimuli in depression. An integrative framework for organizing and interpreting this evidence is put forward which incorporates (a) multiple potential pathways to interoceptive dysfunction; (b) interaction with individual, gender, and cultural differences in interoception; and (c) a developmental psychobiological systems perspective, emphasizing likely differential susceptibility to somatic and interoceptive dysfunction across the lifespan. Combined with current theory and evidence, it is suggested that core symptoms of depression (e.g., anhedonia, social deficits) may be products of disturbed interoceptive-exteroceptive integration. More research is nonetheless needed to fully elucidate the relationship between mind, body, and social context in depression.

“…The psychiatrist Bruch (e.g., 1961, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1991) expanded Hebb’s (1949) ideas and applied them to the development of disordered eating in humans. Bruch argued that perturbations in the human infant-caregiver feeding system can provide the ground for aberrations in the development of psychological characteristics like autonomy as well as the perception or awareness of internal states like hunger and satiety.…”

Hunger, thirst and satiety have an enormous influence on cognition, behavior and development, yet we often take for granted that they are simply inborn or innate. Converging data and theory from both comparative and human domains, however, supports the conclusion that the phenomena hunger, thirst and satiety are not innate but rather emerge probabilistically as a function of experience during individual development. The metatheoretical perspective provided by developmental psychobiological systems theory provides a useful framework for organizing and synthesizing findings related to the development of the perception of hunger, thirst and satiety, or alimentary interoception. It is argued that neither developmental psychology nor the psychology of eating and drinking have adequately dealt with the ontogeny of alimentary interoception and that a more serious consideration of the species-typical developmental system of food and fluid intake and the many modifications that have been made therein is likely necessary for a full understanding of both alimentary and emotional development.

“…Anorexia nervosa was diagnosed by a psychiatrist according to Bruch's criteria. 8 Hormone Assay Methods.-Immunoreactive follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH in serum were determined by a radioimmunosorbent technique. 9 Immunoreactive oestradiol in serum was determined by a radioimmunological technique using an antiserum to oestradiol-6-oxime.1 0 Progesterone was assayed by a similar radioimmunological method.…”
