Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The insula is a neural center activated by both physical disgust (such as smelling disgusting food) and moral disgust (such as when perceiving an injustice). The anterior cingulate cortex is also involved in emotional processing but does not specifically relate to disgust. The hypothalamus is involved in regulating basic bodily functions such as hunger and thirst, while the hippocampus is associated with memory.
