The constant communication between the heart and the brain have proved invaluable to the interdisciplinary fields of neurological and cardiac diseases. [4] The fundamental understanding of the communication between the heart and the brain via the nervous system has led scientists towards an understanding of its elaborate circuitry.
The heart supplies blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain, and the brain provides autonomic system control to the heart. In other words, the brain helps regulate heart rate, breathing ...
“This is an interesting paper taking a unique lens to understanding the connection between the brain and the heart — specifically the genetics that may link coronary artery disease and ...
