DESCRIPTION:Sensation\, Reward\, and Gut-Brain Pathways\n\nBy Ivan de Arauj
 o\n\nMount Sinai Hospital\, New York\n\nWith High-Level Panel of Leaders i
 n Science\, Technology\, On-the-Ground Action\, and Policy\n\nRegister & w
 atch the webinar\n\nGastrointestinal organs convey mixed messages to the c
 entral nervous system\, which range from mechanical stretch to nutritional
  value. The presentation aims at addressing the question of how these mult
 imodal signals arising from the gut may be decoded by brain neurons. In pa
 rticular it describes a unique aspect of the functional neuroanatomy of fo
 od reinforcement\, namely\, the ability of gut nutrient sensors to directl
 y activate the brain's subcortical reward circuitry. Activation of subcort
 ical circuitries results in the bypassing of the cortical networks that me
 diate overt\, conscious insights into the sensory-hedonic qualities of foo
 ds. The implications for our understanding of phenomena such as satiety an
 d pleasure\, and the conscious perception of body states\, will be discuss
 ed.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nIvan de Araujo Studied Philosophy and Mathemat
 ics at the University of Brasilia\, followed by postgraduate studies in Ar
 tificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics
 . He was awarded the title of Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in Experimental
  Psychology at the University of Oxford\, under the supervision of Edmund 
 T. Rolls. After his doctorate\, De Araujo held a postdoctoral research pos
 ition with Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University. He then acted between 2007
  and 2018 as Professor of Psychiatry at the Pierce Laboratories at Yale Un
 iversity. Since 2018 he has been a Professor of Neuroscience at Mount Sina
 i Hospital in New York.\n\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Precision Convergence
  series is launched to catalyze unique synergy between\, on the one hand\,
  novel partnerships across sciences\, sectors and jurisdictions around tar
 geted domains of real-world solutions\, and on the other hand\, a next gen
 eration convergence of AI with advanced research computing and other data 
 and digital architectures such as PSC鈥檚 Bridges-2\, and supporting data sh
 aring frameworks such as HuBMAP\, informing in a real time as possible the
  design\, deployment and monitoring of solutions for adaptive real-world b
 ehaviour and context.\n\nThe Precision Convergence Webinar Series is co-ho
 sted by The 9I制作厂免费 Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics (MCC
 HE) at 9I制作厂免费 and The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center\, a join
 t computational research centre between Carnegie Mellon University and the
  University of Pittsburgh.\n\n聽\n
