claimLiu et al. (2015a) analyze the plasticity of brain wave network interactions and their evolution across different physiologic states.

claimDistinct physiologic states and conditions are associated with specific network topology and temporal characteristics of organ interactions.

claimNetwork physiology aims to uncover dynamical characteristics of brain-organ and organ-organ networks to identify new signatures of physiologic control and establish associations between network structure and organism-level physiologic states.

claimPhysiological states and functions at the organism level are traditionally defined by the dynamics of organ systems, their modulation, and changes in response to transitions in biochemical signaling and neuro-autonomic regulation caused by internal, external, and pathologic perturbations.

claimCoordinated network interactions among organs are essential for generating distinct physiological states and maintaining health.

perspectiveResearchers in Network Physiology argue that the current paradigm for defining physiological states, health, and disease should shift from a focus on single organs to a focus on the network of physiological interactions.

claimLin et al. (2020) identify dynamic network interactions among distinct brain rhythms as a hallmark of physiologic state and function.

claimGlobal behaviors at the organism level, including different physiologic states and functions, arise from networked interactions among organ systems that generate health or disease.

claimThe field of Network Physiology aims to establish quantitative measures of interactions between diverse organ systems and their collective network behavior, while uncovering relations between physiologic states and patterns of organ network interactions.

claimHaving structurally intact and functioning systems is insufficient to maintain health; coordinated network interactions among systems and sub-systems are required to generate distinct physiologic states and behaviors at the organism level, such as wake, sleep and sleep stages, rest and exercise, stress and anxiety, cognition, consciousness, and unconsciousness.

claimThe field of Network Physiology redefines physiologic states by viewing them as dynamic networks of organ interactions rather than isolated systems.

procedureRecent studies in Network Physiology have focused on four key areas: 1) investigating brain-brain network interactions across distinct brain rhythms and locations, 2) characterizing dynamical features of brain-organ communications as a new signature of neuro-autonomic control, 3) establishing basic principles underlying coordinated organ-organ communications, and 4) constructing first dynamic maps of physiological systems and organ interactions across distinct physiologic states.

claimPhysiological networks hierarchically reorganize during transitions between physiological states in response to changes in autonomic regulation.

claimThe authors of the article 'Awake or Sleeping? Maybe Both… A Review of Sleep' classify sleep-related dissociative states into three categories: physiological states, pathological states, and altered states of consciousness.
