Multisystem imaging of whole-body emotion circuits with total-body positron emission tomography
The goal of the TOTALBODY project is to establish the interacting biological networks supporting human emotions and their disorders across the brain and periphery using novel total-body positron emission tomography (PET) approach. The body-to-brain axis maps visceral signals onto emotions, driving complex motivated behaviours. Negative emotions are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) Conversely, CVDs are associated with anxiety, highlighting the link between negative emotions, bodily functions, and somatic health. Systems-level interaction between brain and peripheral organs could thus be a key pathway underlying psychiatric disorders, but it remains poorly understood. TOTALBODY…
