Does #racism disrupt #interoception and influence dissociation? @ElbasheirAziz's fascinating new findings in @BiologicalPsyc1 show that more frequent racism was linked to interoceptive network disruptions, and this interoceptive network disruptions linked to #dissociation
New publication from the @FANs_Lab highlighting the relationship between racial discrimination and lesser insula-mPFC connectivity during attention to threat and its association with greater dissociative symptoms! check it out!!
