Out now @NatureComms:. We knew that interoceptive signals guide motivation, but it was not known if we can boost motivation by emulating vagal signals. Here, we show that non-invasive stimulation increases invigoration. W/ @eudaimonja @glassybrain .

Hunger is commonly linked to negative mood and mood shifts are thought to arise from sensing the body’s internal state. However, it is unclear whether circulating glucose levels affect mood subcons...

Do you get hangry because glucose levels drop or is it due to hunger? .We collected EMA+CGM over four weeks and found that mood swings are best explained by conscious ratings of metabolic states. A lower interoceptive sensitivity was associated with higher mood variability.

Happy to see that people are interested in our work.
🧠Depression is linked to rewired food cravings. People with depression crave carbs more and find less reward in fats & proteins. Could the gut-brain axis explain this? 🧵1/14
