Written in the body: What biomarkers reflecting brain-body communication can tell us about addiction and addiction recovery
While research on the cognitive and psychosocial corollaries of addiction recovery is increasingly informing our understanding of individual factors that can undermine or enhance recovery, much less attention is being paid to critical bidirectional brain-body regulatory processes contributing to resilience or risk for addiction relapse. This talk will explore biomarkers of brain-body integration and describe how they can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the complex factors affecting addiction recovery.
