📣 New Podcast! "367: The Unknown Sense of Interoceptive Awareness with Cindy and Alison" on @Spreaker #childcare #childdevelopment #children #daycare #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #ece #emotional #families #interoceptive #parenting #parents #senses #social #teachers
If we want to understand why taking pleasure from food is not the likeliest cause of #obesity, we need to learn a bit about #interoceptive signals that regulate our eating and our weight. It's all about #homeostasis.

Top: Experimental set up. Single pulses of TMS were applied to the hand area of the right primary motor cortex with an inter-pulse interval randomized between 6 and 10 s. Simultaneously, the neuronavigated coil position (yellow), electrocardiogram (red), respiratory signal (blue), electrogastrogram (green), and electromyography from the left hand (gray) were recorded. The figure shows traces of a 20-s time segment from one participant of the cardiac (raw), respiratory (filtered), gastric (filtered), and EMG (raw) signals. The experimental measure was the Motor Evoked Potential amplitude measured on a hand muscle (first dorsal interosseous), analyzed against the phase of the cardiac, respiratory, and gastric rhythms. Note that the three rhythms have very different periods (~1 s for the heart, ~ 5 s for respiration, and ~20 s for the gastric rhythm). Bottom: Artwork illustrating how rhythms of the internal organs interact with the moment-to-moment fluctuations observed in corticospinal motor excitability. Image depicts an outline of a brain with representations of the three rhythmic organs influencing the motor system: the heart, lungs, and stomach. Image credit: Tahnée Engelen.
How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT

At the navigating #interoceptive crossroads symposium, Jasmin Schultze described why we might feel a lump in our throat when feeling emotional
#IMRI findings show emotional
focus heightens interoceptive processing in the #insula, linking body and emotion!

Whoohoo! Shoutout to @rachelfrietchen.bsky.social and co-authors @mbillmanmiller.bsky.social @dominicmdenning.bsky.social @aprilrosesmith.bsky.social for this paper on #interoceptive sensibility in #TGE samples!
