in the heart (1). Meanwhile, the brain-heart interaction is involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases through autonomic nervous system, as patients with Takotsubo syndrome display default autonomiclimbic integration and less functional connected parasympathetic-and sympathetic-subnetworks (2). All these findings highlight the autonomic nervous system as an essential target for prevention and control of the pathological process of cardiac diseases, and for further clinical transformation (3)(4).This research topic aimed to explore recent developments in this area focused on 1) the role of autonomic nervous system in cardiovascular diseases, 2) the role of autonomic nervous system in central nervous system diseases, and 3) the autonomic nervous system interaction between heart and brain. In conclusion, the present research topic collected some interesting papers and revealed better understanding of the autonomic nervous system interaction between heart and brain. We hope further researches about this topic will be continued, and will contribute to the clinical transformation of novel neuromodulate strategies.
