The insula is a deep neural center that is activated when people smell disgusting food or feel disgust in response to a perceived injustice. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are different branches of the autonomic nervous system that regulate involuntary bodily functions, but they are not specifically associated with disgust.
