Please join us on March 6th for a special gNeuro seminar! This will be an in-person meeting (with Zoom option) held in the Cannon Room on the HMS quad. We hope you will come for the talks and stay for happy hour afterwards!

Communication Between the Gut and Brain

In skin, the sensory nerve endings that underlie somatosensation have been identified and well characterized. In contrast, much less is known about the different types of sensory nerve endings that underlie interoception from visceral organs, like the gut. Identifying the different types of sensory nerve endings that underlie interoception from internal (visceral) organs and the types of stimuli that activate their endings would improve our understanding of gut-brain communication. This presentation will focus on some of the advances that have been made identifying different types of sensory endings in visceral organs.

Zoom link will appear on the confirmation page and be emailed to you after you register. It will also be emailed out a day or two before the event.

gNeuro is an initiative jointly sponsored by HBI and the Harvard Digestive Disease Center (HDDC) that aims to bring together scientists interested in the neurobiology of the alimentary tract.
