About this Research Topic
The human organism comprises diverse multi-component physiological systems, and they interact with each other to maintain and generate distinct physiological states. Disruption of communication among organ systems leads to dysfunction of individual systems and collapse of the entire organism. Thus, mapping the interaction between complex physiological systems and quantifying the interaction will inform how these interactions change under different physiological, environmental, and emotional conditions?
The method to quantify the interaction between the complex physiological system in the clinical setting is still evolving despite its importance to physiology and medicine. Thus, the emergence of wearable technology and advancement in existing technology in the past few years will provide data to conceptualize the framework of Network Physiology focusing on patients and healthy individuals. It will be interesting to see the effect of behavior and surrounding environment on network interactions among systems to determine the hallmark of physiological state and function.
This Research Topic on Network Physiology aims to investigate novel methods and approaches derived from recent advances in wearable technology, basic physiology, neuromodulation technology and medicine and how it is applied to provide insights into physiological structure and function in health and disease, as well as personalized treatments. Understanding how physiological systems and sub-systems coordinate, synchronize, and integrate their dynamics in a healthy individual will help correct anomalies in patients.
