Relationships Between Brain Functional Connectivity and Resting Cardiac Autonomic Profiles in Functional Neurological Disorder: A Pilot Study
In FND, individual differences in resting autonomic physiology related to the centrality of brain areas that are part of the central autonomic, salience, and allostatic-interoceptive networks. These findings suggest that the relationship between autonomic physiology and network architecture may be important in FND.
