Stomach–brain synchronisation is associated with poorer mental health

Disruptions in brain–body interactions are implicated in a broad spectrum of mental health disorders but the relationship between gastric–brain coupling and affective symptoms remains poorly understood. 

The researchers using AI investigated this novel interoceptive axis among 243 participants.

The researchers found increased frontoparietal brain coupling to the gastric rhythm indexes a dimensional signature of poorer mental health, spanning anxiety, depression, stress and well-being and is confirmed by the control analyses regarding the specificity of these interactions to the gastric–brain axis.
