🧵 5/Findings: Over 6 months, increased HEP amplitude correlates with faster antidepressant response (see figure below). Additionally, immediate application of DBS disrupts HEP amplitude; evidence that interoceptive circuits are modified.⚡📈

🧵 3/ Exploring the heart-brain connection: We measured the heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) in 8 patients with treatment-resistant depression, before and after 6 months of DBS treatment, to see how their brains process these interoceptive signals. #HEP
