The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in interoception, influencing emotions like anxiety and depression, but its function is altered by stress.
The study found that stressful experiences affect vagus nerve activity, indicating that interoceptive communication may be disrupted, especially in stress-susceptible individuals.
Experimental methods showed a clear difference in vagus nerve activity between stress-resilient and stress-susceptible mice, highlighting the nerve's role in emotional regulation.
Both the prefrontal cortex and amygdala are vital for managing anxiety, while monitoring brain waves revealed insights into how stress affects these regions.
