Answer 1

Answer:

Insula

Explanation:

The Insula is the small part of the cortex in the brain. It is located in the deep of the brain part called lateral sulcus. It is large fissures that separate the frontal lobe and parietal lobe to the temporal lobe. It is activated in many events but before it was not noticed. The insula is specifically related to the pain, love, craving, emotions, addiction, enjoy of music, and taste of wine, etc. It is partially responsible for these tasks because insula is responsible for facilitating our self-concept related to awareness. The awareness related to our environment, how to perceive things, our emotions.
