To close this gap, we studied a large open data set of 69 old and 134 young participants with two consecutive fMRI resting state scans in combination with the corresponding physiological HRV data assessed via photoplethysmography (PPG). We quantified spontaneous HRV changes from one resting state to the other and studied the unique information about the relationship between changes in functional coupling between brain areas and spontaneous HRV changes. Using a fc-MVPA, we identified functional brain coupling patterns associated with changes in HRV within brain networks, including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), the cerebellum, the brainstem, and the temporal lobe. These patterns were not significantly different between the two age groups – indicating age invariance of brain heart communication. Post hoc seed-to-voxel analyses indicated a stronger functional coupling of these identified clusters with brain regions such as the insula, the opercular cortex, the superior frontal gyrus, and the cerebellum when HRV increased.
