Impact of experimental inflammation on the neuronal processing of cardiac interoceptive signals and heart rate variability in humans by Vera Flasbeck, Manfred Schedlowski, Martin Brüne, Harald Engler

“…In neuroimaging research, heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEP) - defined as event-related potentials time-locked to electrocardiogram (ECG) R-waves during electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings - have emerged as a promising metric for cardiac interoceptive processing. We analyzed the effects of intravenous administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 0.4 ng/kg) or placebo, on HEP amplitudes and ANS functioning in healthy, female participants (n = 52) during 8 min resting-state EEG and ECG recordings before and 2 h after injections. …”
