And Justin Sung & @danasmall.bsky.social argue that the pleasure of eating food is not a driver of the obesity epidemic, but rather the regular consumption of an unhealthy diet blunts sensitivity to interoceptive signals that drive food reward #neurosky 🧪

Does the liver talk to the brain? If so, how and why?
Interoceptive signals from visceral organs, such as heart, lungs and gut, are known to influence many aspects of organismal physiology and behavior. This Perspective argues that liver signaling via…

And in some new research, @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that cardiac, respiratory & gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct interoceptive profiles across individuals.https://plos.io/4nMtpLT
Cardiac, respiratory, and gastric rhythms independently modulate motor corticospinal excitability in humans
How do internal bodily rhythms influence brain activity and motor function? This study shows that cardiac, respiratory and gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing…
