NASEM: Understanding Brain-Body Interactions to Advance Brain Health

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's (NASEM’s) Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders; in collaboration with the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences; will host a virtual public workshop to explore bidirectional communication between the brain and peripheral organ systems such as brain-immune, brain-heart, and gut-brain interactions. Speakers will explore the various ways in which these interactions may increase understanding of neurological and psychiatric diseases, inform new therapeutic development, as well as foster a more holistic approach to brain health overall.
