Interoception and Inflammation in Psychiatric Disorders
Open accessAbstract
Despite a historical focus on neurally mediated interoceptive signaling mechanisms, humoral (and even cellular) signals also play an important role in communicating bodily physiological state to the brain. These signaling pathways can perturb neuronal structure, chemistry, and function, leading to discrete changes in behavior. They are also increasingly implicated in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. The importance of these humoral signaling pathways is perhaps most powerfully illustrated in the context of infection and inflammation. Here we provide an overview of how interaction of immune activation of neural and humoral interoceptive mechanisms mediates discrete changes in brain and behavior and highlight how activation of these pathways at specific points in neural development may predispose to psychiatric disorder. As our mechanistic understanding of these interoceptive pathways continues to emerge, it is revealing novel therapeutic targets, potentially heralding an exciting new era of immunotherapies in psychiatry.

The physiological timescales and amplitudes of interoceptive signaling vary dramatically, with even slower changes in humoral mediators.
“The physiological timescales and amplitudes of interoceptive signaling vary dramatically (e.g., heart rate [0.5–3.3 Hz], respiratory rate [0.08–1 Hz], gastric contractility [0.05–0.1 Hz], urinary frequency [0.000045–0.00012 Hz]), with even slower changes in humoral mediators (50) (Figure 2C, D).”
From Interoception and Mental Health: A Roadmap. (2018) · cites this paper as [50]
The “Visceral afferents” section describes rapid neural interoceptive signaling, and “Humoral pathways” identifies circulating inflammatory mediators as another interoceptive route. Neither section establishes that changes in humoral mediators are slower than the physiological rhythms listed in the citing sentence; the paper also does not provide those frequencies or address signal amplitudes. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe CNS senses somatic states and uses them to shape and guide behaviour.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
