A Theoretical Framework for Gastric Electrophysiology: Re-framing the Gut-Brain Axis and the Gastric Slow Wave as an Analogue Gravity System
The Gut-Brain Axis (GBA) is a complex, bidirectional communication network intrinsically linking the enteric and central nervous systems. Within this network, the brain and vagus nerve modulate essential gut functions, including the gastric slow wave—a basal 0.05 Hz electrical rhythm generated by pacemaker cells that dictates peristaltic contractions.
