SUMMARY:Clinical neuroscience and the heart: How cardiac signals influence
  emotion and cognition  - Professor Sarah Garfinkel (UCL)

CONTACT:Psychology Reception
DESCRIPTION:Cognitive and emotional processes are shaped by the dynamic in
 tegration of brain and body. A major channel of interoceptive information 
 comes from the heart\, where phasic signals are conveyed to the brain to i
 ndicate how fast and strong the heart is beating.  This talk will detail h
 ow cardiac afferent signals can interact with neuronal mechanisms to alter
  emotion processing. This interoceptive channel is disrupted in distinct w
 ays in functional neurological disorder\, autism and anxiety\; specific in
 teroceptive disturbances may contribute to our understanding of symptoms i
 n these clinical conditions\, including dissociation and altered affective
  processing. The discrete cardiac effects on emotion and cognition have br
 oad relevance for clinical neuroscience\, with implications for peripheral
  treatment targets and behavioural interventions focused on the heart.
