Drs. Robin Aupperle, Justin Feinstein and Sahib Khalsa shared their current research with the mental health community at the 21st annual Zarrow Mental Health Symposium in downtown Tulsa on September 17th, 2015. Their talks were presented during the session on "Integrating Brain and Body to Improve Mental Health".
Traditionally, there has been a divide between those investigating (1) brain responses, (2) bodily responses, and (3) emotional responses, associated with mental illness. A more holistic understanding of neural, physiological and emotional aspects of mental health has the potential to inform our current clinical practice as well as the development of novel interventions. In their presentations, LIBR investigators will discussed (1) the role of heart-brain communications in mental health, (2) potential interventions for modulating one’s bodily awareness, and (3) potential brain mechanisms for current psychotherapeutic interventions. Drs. Aupperle, Feinstein and Khalsa focused on the clinical applicability of neurophysiological research.
