Just released—a brand new special issue focused entirely on interoception. More to follow, but beyond my usual excitement is the fact that this will be kickstarting 2021!!! cell.com/trends/neuroscience…

There are many aspects of this dense sampling approach that are innovative, not the least of which is the focus on uterine #interoception across #menstruation. Thank you @pw_savoca for leading this elegant work!
Excited to share our new protocol paper in Brain, Behavior, & Immunity – Health introducing the CHIRP Study: Cyclic Hormones and Interoception with Repeated Profiling.
🧵See how we're using dense sampling to probe natural fluctuations in #interoception

Postdoc job alert! I’m looking for someone with a PhD in neuroscience/psychology, psychiatry, computational modeling or a related field to join my NIH-funded team at UCLA studying the neural & computational mechanisms of #interoception in anorexia nervosa 1/2

Nice paper from Wani Woo (@choongwanwoo ) and colleagues articulating a role for interoception in AI. Very timely!

Although we search for orthostatic tachycardia to make a diagnosis of POTS - the heart may indeed by a “bystander:” we must try to better understand central & central autonomic “top- down” processes @OluAjijola @KhalsaLab @PrashSanders @shivkumarmd

A few recent noteworthy papers on human respiratory #interoception showing:
1) exhalation's impacts on risky decision making. Kudos to the team led by @DrSoyoungPark!

AI is already entering psychiatric training. Our new review argues that staged, supervised integration that protects clinical reasoning, formulation, privacy, equity, and the therapeutic relationship is key. AI should deepen (not replace) the human work of psychiatry. Link below

Some of the most intriguing findings in our recent JAMA Psychiatry study of anorexia nervosa were not the ones we originally set out to study.

If so, understanding how these changes relate to recovery, symptom improvement, and relapse prevention may open new directions for both mechanistic research and treatment development.

More work remains before these findings translate to clinical application. But given how difficult relapse prevention remains in AN, these are questions worth pursuing.
