Network physiology is a vital framework for understanding biological systems, focusing on dynamic interactions across various physiological levels. Research applies this approach to cardiac pacemaker activity, glucose metabolism, and circadian rhythms. It also elucidates brain function during sleep, aging, and stress, highlighting how interconnected systems influence mental health. The paradigm reveals mechanisms of complex conditions, supporting integrated diagnostics and therapeutics. Computational models and multimodal data are key tools. Ultimately, network physiology offers a holistic view of health and disease, informing novel strategies for intervention and stability.
