April 16-17 Workshop To Focus on the Science of Interoception 

On April 16 and 17, a workshop at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will explore interoception—the unique sense that enables us to detect and interpret signals from within our body’s internal landscape—and its role in nervous system disorders.

This workshop will bring together experts from diverse fields in basic neuroscience and clinical research to address two major connections—the one between brain and body and the one between basic research and human or clinical research.

The workshop, to be held on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, is free and open to the public. You can attend in person or view it online. The deadline for registration for in-person attendance is April 8.

This workshop is sponsored by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, led by NCCIH and the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research.
