The Science of Interoception and Its Roles in Nervous System 
Disorders

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The objectives of this workshop are to identify gaps in 
research related to the science of interoception, its role(s) in 
nervous system disorders, and to develop strategies and recommendations 
to facilitate the advancement of this area of research. The workshop 
will bring together expertise from diverse fields including basic 
neuroscience, psychology, physiology, and clinical research to 
deliberate two important dynamic connections--the connections between 
brain and body and the connections between basic research and human/
clinical research. The primary focus areas for the workshop include: 
the neural circuitry underlying the dynamic interactions between the 
central and peripheral nervous systems; interoceptive processes in 
associated diseases and disorders; effect of modulating interoceptive 
processes for potential interventions/therapies; and development of 
technologies and methodologies to enhance interoceptive research.

DATES: The Meeting will be held on April 16-17, 2019, from 8:30 a.m. to 
5:00 p.m. (ET).

ADDRESSES: Lister Hill Auditorium, NLM (Building 38A), NIH Main Campus, 
8600 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD. This workshop will also be 
videocast.
