Really proud & happy to see my first first-author paper out @brainstimj 🎉 Have a look to discover how vagus nerve stimulation increases stomach-brain coupling via a dopaminergic midbrain pathway. It was a great collaborative effort, thanks to all co-authors! 💪
Out now @brainstimj: Can we use brain stimulation to target the gut-brain axis?
We show that non-invasive stimulation of vagal afferents increases stomach-brain coupling.

Is the vagus nerve all about regulating 'rest & digest'? Our @TrendsCognSci review shows that vagal afferents support survival more broadly, helping organisms to 'strive to survive' by gating internal signals.

It was a fantastic opportunity to give this talk about stomach-brain interactions and vagus nerve stimulation at #dgppn today! Thank you @cornu_copiae for the invitation and organization 😊
It was an honor to open the conference this morning with an excellent symposium on somatic symptoms of depression at #dgppn. Great contributions by @revivaciously, @OpelNils, @SThanarajah. Great to see the surging interest in the community.
We also have more on non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation to present at #PuG2023.
I will show how food cues can be used to contrast exteroception vs. interoception with fMRI+EGG, and if we stimulate vagal afferents, we can increase the relative weight of interoceptive signals.
Is HRV a good proxy of vagal tone? We show that vagus nerve stimulation reduces HRV without altering HR, contradicting the idea that increased HRV reflects heightened vagal tone. Work w/ @revivaciously, @koeniglab, & @cornu_copiae

Increased stomach-brain coupling ➡️ better integration of interoceptive signals that encode the metabolic state.
Huge congrats @revivaciously for getting this amazing work out as your first paper, big thanks to the team @cornu_copiae & @BrainAndStomach
New 🧠⚡️paper from the lab.
Congratulations to our stellar MD student @revivaciously on her first paper: a tour de force that may help us better understand how the gut and the brain interact to guide behavior.
Very happy to see that our work with Catherine Tallon-baudry on the gastric network is finally out in the journal of neuroscience @SfNJournals https://t.co/ccR421YNzE @SfNJournals
Jetzt seid ihr gefragt!💡
Wir planen gerade unsere nächsten Workshops und wollen von euch wissen: Welche Dozenten/Formate möchtet ihr gerne bei uns sehen? Und um welche #Wisskomm Themen soll es als nächstes gehen? Schreibt eure Ideen gerne in die Kommentare 🧑🔬💬⬇️
Danke, dass ihr alle mit dabei wart bei dem tollen #Wisskomm Workshop mit Andreas von Torten & Trompeten! 🙌 Wir haben viel gelernt zu effizienten Lesestrategien, dem Aufbau eines Zettelsystems zur Literaturorga, zeitsparenden Visualisierungstipps für Präsentationen uvm. ⏰💬👩🔬
Du hast morgen Nachmittag Zeit und möchtest mehr über gute #Wisskomm unter Zeitdruck lernen? Dann melde dich jetzt noch für unseren kostenlosen Online-Workshop an und entdecke neue Skills für dich👩🔬💬: https://t.co/hWvOsPeYLJ
