The intricate brain–body interaction in psychiatric and neurological diseases

2024 | Francesco Di Gregorio, Simone Battaglia
The article explores the complex interaction between the brain and body in psychiatric and neurological diseases, emphasizing the importance of understanding this relationship for diagnosis, treatment, and research. It highlights how dysfunctions in brain-body communication contribute to the onset and progression of various conditions, including psychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and neurological conditions. The study discusses the role of the autonomic nervous system, immune system, and gut-brain axis in these diseases, as well as the impact of inflammation and neuroendocrine dysregulation. It also reviews recent advances in neurostimulation techniques and the potential of integrating brain and body measures for more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment. The article underscores the need for a holistic approach that considers both brain and body functions to develop effective therapeutic strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders.The article explores the complex interaction between the brain and body in psychiatric and neurological diseases, emphasizing the importance of understanding this relationship for diagnosis, treatment, and research.
