The molecular mechanisms of brain-body interactions in the progression of brain diseases remain unknown. Through integrative analysis of multi-organ proteomic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic data following ischemic stroke, we identified dynamic molecular signatures across organs. The heart exhibited the highest number of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), followed by spleen and intestine. Ten DEPs were shared among three organs post-stroke, with eight in heart, six in spleen, and five in intestine. Notably, organs displayed accelerated biological aging, particularly the intestine, which is implicated in neurobehavioral regulation. Conjoint analysis further confirmed that DEPs originated from both intrinsic and immune cells that systemically infiltrated multiple organs. Finally, plasma DEPs showed high correlations with corresponding protein levels in distinct organs, potentially resulting in the systemic circulation of stroke. Our findings provide a comprehensive atlas of stroke-induced multi-organ molecular remodeling and establish a foundational framework for developing systemic therapeutic strategies targeting brain-body interactions in brain injury.

The neural control of breathing is both dynamic and essential, ensuring life-sustaining gas exchange while protecting the respiratory system from harm. Peripheral neurons innervating the respiratory tract exhibit remarkable diversity, continuously relaying sensory feedback to the brain to regulate breathing, trigger protective reflexes such as coughing and sickness behaviors, and even influence emotional states. Understanding this airway-brain axis is especially critical given the increasing global burden of respiratory diseases, as it holds implications for both human health and broader brain-body interactions.

This NeuroView explores how systemic cancer signals induce behavioral changes via brain-body communication pathways, framing cachexia as an adaptive yet unsustainable interoceptive response. Recognizing patient-reported symptoms as biological signals offers new avenues for intervention and understanding brain-disease interactions.

Psychosocial adaptation to cancer involves interactions among emotional, cognitive, and biological processes. Although the efficacy of psychological interventions is well documented, the mechanisms linking psychological adaptation to physiological outcomes remain fragmented across disciplines. The Special Issue of the "Advancing Health Psychology Research in Oncology: Biobehavioral Models, Stress Pathways, and Stress-Management Interventions for Cancer Patients" addresses this gap and this paper serves as an overview.

All cells in an animal collectively ensure, moment-to-moment, the survival of the whole organism in the face of environmental stressors. Physiology seeks to elucidate the intricate network of interactions that sustain life, which often span multiple organs, cell types, and timescales, but a major challenge lies in the inability to simultaneously record time-varying cellular activity throughout the entire body. We developed WHOLISTIC, a method to image second-timescale, time-varying intracellular dynamics across cell-types of the vertebrate body.

Schizophrenia is characterized by psychotic symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive deficits, profoundly affecting individuals and their families. The etiology is multifactorial, involving genetic, endocrine, and immunological risk factors. It is thought that schizophrenia is exclusively linked to alterations in brain structure and function, while the relationship between the brain and many organs may lack sufficient attention.
