SCIENCE HUB · PHYSIOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE & MECHANOBIOLOGY
A Living Body Has to Convert Molecules, Electricity, Force and Time Into Coordinated Decisions Across Many Scales.
This corridor follows signalling, sensory transduction, neural communication, immunity, vascular control, tissue mechanics and organ-level regulation without turning educational physiology into clinical diagnosis or treatment.

Spider / Web / Hidden / Deep Connections
Open the Science Connection Map →
- Spider — candidates: Physics and Genome/RNA become candidates when physiological state depends on fields, forces, fluid dynamics, mechanotransduction or regulated cell identity.
- Web — admitted: Molecular & Cellular · Biochemistry · Biology · Instrumentation.
- Hidden Connect: bioelectricity, blood flow, pressure, acoustic transduction, tissue forces and mechanosensitive channels make Physics a true physiological bridge. Genome state can also become a hidden neighbour when differentiation or chromatin mechanics changes tissue function.
- Deep Connect: Physiology → Physics → Instrumentation → Evidence.
