A Multimodal Framework for Body-Brain Dynamics in Health and Disease
Rhythmic peripheral signals like respiratory, cardiac, and gastric activity not only serve our bodies’ strive for homeostasis, but actively modulate brain activity and behaviour. However, what are the functional mechanisms and signalling pathways by which these rhythms orchestrate brain function? An ever-growing number of studies show that body-brain interactions are of prime importance when we assign functional roles to brain activity. Yet, little is known about how body-brain coupling is governed by states of the body (e.g. breathing interventions) and the brain (e.g. emotional or excitability states). Critically, these gaps also extend to studies in disease, which currently limits our…
