Whole-Body-Brain Dynamics: Multi-Organ Interactions via Multilayer Network and Hidden Markov Models

Leah Banellis, University of Copenhagen, has been awarded a postdoc research grant from the Lundbeck Foundation worth DKK 2.768.264

This pioneering project will uncover how the brain and vital organsβ€”such as the heart, lungs, and gutβ€”interact to shape our thoughts, emotions, and mental health. Using cutting-edge computational models and brain and vagal nerve stimulation techniques, we aim to reveal key brain-body connections that could transform treatments for psychiatric and brain disorders. By focusing on the whole-body-brain network, this research promises new insights into brain function, cognition, and health.
