Smith and Lane have suggested a model of emotion processing with at least three stations: areas like the amygdala, which process discrete body features areas like the anterior insula, which process whole-body patterns and areas like the medial prefrontal cortex, which process emotion concepts. Ben Shalom and Bonneh have suggested a model of the prefrontal cortex, in which medial BA 9 integrates emotional states, and lateral BA 9 performs selection/inhibition on these states. Taken together, the current paper suggests a pathway for emotion processing with at least four stations: areas like the amygdala, which process discrete body features areas like the anterior insula, which process whole-body patterns, medial BA 9 which integrates emotion concepts, and lateral BA 9, which performs selection/inhibition on these concepts. Following the existing literature, it then suggest that there is a significant involvement of the amygdala in psychopathy (Blair), of the anterior insula in alexithymia (Bird), of the medial BA 9 in deficits in somatosensory discrimination (Ben Shalom), and of lateral BA 9 in emotional impulsivity (Ronel).
史密斯和莱恩提出了一种情绪处理模型，该模型至少有三个处理站：像杏仁核这样的区域，处理离散的身体特征；像前脑岛这样的区域，处理全身模式；以及像内侧前额叶皮质这样的区域，处理情绪概念。本·沙洛姆和博内提出了一种前额叶皮质模型，其中内侧的9区整合情绪状态，外侧的9区对这些状态进行选择/抑制。综合来看，本文提出了一条至少有四个处理站的情绪处理途径：像杏仁核这样的区域，处理离散的身体特征；像前脑岛这样的区域，处理全身模式；内侧的9区，整合情绪概念；以及外侧的9区，对这些概念进行选择/抑制。接着，按照现有文献，本文指出杏仁核在精神病态中（布莱尔）、前脑岛在述情障碍中（伯德）、内侧9区在体感辨别缺陷中（本·沙洛姆）以及外侧9区在情绪冲动中（罗内尔）都有显著参与。
