The Gravity of Maturation: Synthesizing Brain Criticality and Gastric Spacetime Dynamics in the Developmental Transition to Adulthood
The developmental transition from adolescence to adulthood entails profound shifts in neurocomputational dynamics, specifically the progression of the cerebral cortex toward a state of self-organized criticality. Concurrently, peripheral autonomic systems, particularly the gastrointestinal tract, undergo functional maturation. This paper presents a novel theoretical synthesis bridging the emergence of frequency-specific cortical criticality with an analogue gravity model of gastric electrophysiology. Within this framework, the prefrontal cortex achieves an optimal excitatory-inhibitory balance during adulthood, enabling high-fidelity, top-down vagal modulation.
Theoretical Framework for Biological Gravitational Wave Imprints on Spontaneous Emission: Re-framing the Gastric Slow Wave as an Analogue Gravity System
The intersection of general relativity and quantum field theory has historically been constrained to extreme astrophysical scales. However, the emergence of analogue gravity allows these complex phenomena to be modeled within continuous media. This paper presents a novel theoretical framework that synthesizes quantum optical models of gravitational waves with the biomechanical parameters of the Gut-Brain Axis, fundamentally re-framing human gastric electrophysiology as a biological analogue gravity system.
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.
