Psychoanalytic and phenomenological accounts of anxiety distinguish between raw bodily disquiet and top-down symbolic structures—morality, faith, and meaning—that subjects erect to contain it. We propose a neuropsychoanalytic model mapping this distinction onto two interacting neural registers: a bottom-up interoceptive circuit centered on the anterior insula and Salience Network (SN), and a...
