than in individuals with low urgency scores. In contrast, HSSs engaged the right anterior insula more strongly in the face of intense arousal. Consequently, the anterior cingulate may be an important part of emotional regulation of somatic responses that are processed in the insula (Craig, 2005). This interpretation is also consistent with the negative correlation found between activation in the left anterior cingulate cortex and scores on urgency, a personality dimension believed to relate to emotional dyscontrol (Whiteside & Lynam, 2003).
