With the advancement of new technologies, neuroscientists have been able to study the human brain with greater precision and detail than ever before.
The investigation of brain It has been one of the areas of science that has advanced the most in recent years. The development of advanced technologies, such as MRI and EEG, have allowed neuroscientists to study the human brain with greater precision and detail than ever before.
On this occasion, researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (United States) have found a clearer connection between body and mind through the brain. According to the university, this finding represents a literal link between the two in the very structure of the brain.

In the study published in the journal Natureit has been shown that the parts of the brain that control movement are related to networks involved in movement. thoughtthe planning and the regulation of involuntary bodily functions such as blood pressure and heartbeat.
The research team has identified a previously unknown system within the motor cortex, which is a part of the outermost layer of the brain. This system has been called the somatocognitive action network or SCAN.
In addition, scientists have discovered that this network corresponds to the regions of the brain that are connected to internal organsincluding the stomach and adrenal glands.
Brain: what does this finding represent?

Network SCAN could explain with a better understanding of some phenomena that affect people. For example, it could explain why some people feel the need to pace when they feel anxious or why stimulate the vagus nervewhich regulates internal organic functions such as digestion and heart rate, can help alleviate depression.
Furthermore, this finding could help explain why people who exercise regularly have a more positive outlook on life. These new discoveries point to a clearer connection between the body and the mind, which could have important implications for the treatment of various diseases and disorders.
