Interoceptive Nursing: Shaping the Brain through Body Care

Abstract

In recent years, neuroscience has undergone a scientific revolution, shifting its focus from the brain alone to encompass the entire body. Understanding how nursing care influences the brain is undoubtedly a major challenge for nursing neuroscience, as it seeks to propose interventions that improve brain health through somatic care and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits. Nurses have the skills to lead and develop scientific evidence demonstrating that interoceptive care is an essential part of neuroscience.
