Abstrakt: Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution [[10]] A major aim of modern neuroscience is the causal explanation of behavioral and cognitive processes by their underlying neuronal mechanisms. Finally, immediate, non-neuronal signals may couple somatic processes to brain activity, including respiration-dependent changes in blood oxygenation ([[39]], this Special Issue) or breathing- or heartbeat-synchronous intracranial pressure changes [[35]]. Heck and Varga [[17]] provide an even broader framework for distributed brain activity which suggests that external (sensory) and internal (proprio- or interoceptive) signals contribute to the distributed, yet context-dependent activity patterns of the brain enabling adapted behavior.
