Leah Banellis, University of Copenhagen, has been awarded a postdoc research grant from the Lundbeck Foundation worth DKK 2.768.264
This pioneering project will uncover how the brain and vital organs鈥攕uch as the heart, lungs, and gut鈥攊nteract to shape our thoughts, emotions, and mental health. Using cutting-edge computational models and brain and vagal nerve stimulation techniques, we aim to reveal key brain-body connections that could transform treatments for psychiatric and brain disorders. By focusing on the whole-body-brain network, this research promises new insights into brain function, cognition, and health.
