Body Sends Signals First: Somatic Priming, Interoception, and the Neurovisceral Integration Response in Health
The idea that the body “sends signals first” maps onto a well-established neurobiological framework: interoception and somatic priming. Interoception is the sense of the internal state of the body (e.g., heart rate, breathing, visceral discomfort), supported by afferent signaling from peripheral receptors to the brain via vagal and spinal pathways. When interoceptive input is strong… Read More »
