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.
