Summary: This commentary highlights how interoception plays a central role in obesity and disorders of gut-brain interaction. It arose from a two-day NIDDK-sponsored workshop at which Dr. Khalsa served as sole keynote speaker.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial shows that patients with generalized anxiety disorder exhibit heightened heart rate responses and reduced activity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex during mild cardiac stimulation — pointing to a specific brain target for future treatments.

Summary: This study demonstrates that an ingestible vibrating capsule reliably activates specific brain regions in response to gut stimulation — providing the methodological foundation for ongoing NIH-funded studies of gut-brain dysfunction in anorexia nervosa.

Summary: A consensus roadmap from the 2016 Interoception Summit that helped to redefine interoception and its relevance to mental health [Most cited publication in the journal].
