Hi #Neuroscience community! Please help. Does anyone know about Substantia Nigra (SN) hemispheral #lateralization effects of dopamine production or connectivity? If you don't know the answer please share on so someone who knows will see this!

Interest in brain-body coupling is rising. Current methods typically focus on a single brain-body axis, like heart-brain, in isolation. @danlikesbrains.bsky.social, @jgross.bsky.social, and I argue that the brain and body exhibit complex, multi-scale dynamics. Read more: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Endogenous activity in brain is perturbed by exogenously driven activity (from inputs). There are many studies about this. But are there studies about the transition back to endogenously-dominated activity once the impact of the external stimulus dies out? #neuroscience @themindwanders.bsky.social
