Immune‑Mind Embodiment

Cognition and selfhood are not just neural phenomena but arise from whole‑body processes — including the immune system, viscera, and sensorimotor loops — so thinking is distributed across bodily systems interacting with environment. This view suggests research, therapy, and AI design should treat body‑wide physiology (not only brain circuits) as constitutive of mind. — If taken seriously, it would shift neuroscience funding, psychiatric treatment models, and AI research toward embodied, multisystem approaches and change public conversations about mental health and what it means to 'think.'
