Many mental health conditions are associated with increased metabolic morbidity & mortality-why?We propose a model of interoceptive allostasis explaining how mental-metabolic comorbidity can occur & propagate through a vicious cycle of energy dysregulation https://t.co/dBi7ZYiZt4

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, @AlPowers7 and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

#MSCAPF call closed and number of applications is huuuge this year😱 I’m happy with my proposal and, as @KhalsaLab said “every grant submission it’s worth celebrating the opportunity to articulate the best version of your science”

Stomach–brain synchronisation is associated with poorer mental health https://t.co/pwuMzNsdlv insightful commentary by Edwin Dalmaijer on our recent study!
cell.com
In common parlance, ‘being in touch with your body’ is often used positively. However, in a recent study, Banellis, Rebollo, and colleagues show that better stomach–brain synchronisation is actually...

But here’s the twist: higher HRV and regular physical activity were linked to less junk food and more fruit/veg intake 🌿✨

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection.

Interoception—the sensing and perception of the internal viscera—is widely cast as a transdiagnostic mechanism linking brain–body interaction to mental illness. Prevailing models propose that altered...
