SUMMARY:Wu Tsai Neuro Seminar w/ Katalin Gothard - SRP Livestream Locations
DESCRIPTION:Good morning SOM Stanford Research Park Community\, \nWe invite you to join us for today’s Neurosciences Seminar. The seminar will be held in-person on the main Stanford campus with 3 satellite viewing locations in Stanford Research Park. \n🗓️ Feb 12\, 2026\nNeural mechanism linking interoception to decision-making\nKatalin Gothard\, MD\, PhD\nUniversity of Arizona | Host: Karen Parker (Social Neurosciences Research Program (Parker Lab)) \nInteroceptive signals convey information about the physiological state of the body to the brain and have been proposed to shape affect and decision-making. Yet it remains unclear how changes in body physiology alone are sufficient to bias complex decisions\, such as choices in an approach-avoidance conflict task. We manipulated the peripheral autonomic state of rhesus macaques using pharmacological agents with minimal blood–brain barrier penetration. During peripherally restricted\, sympathetic-dominated physiological states\, animals terminated mildly aversive stimuli earlier even at the cost of forgoing reward. These effects generalized across different aversive modalities while leaving ordinal food preferences intact\, indicating a selective effect of altered interoceptive afferents on avoidance. I will discuss the neural underpinnings of these behavioral biases in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and amygdala\, exploring how interoceptive states modulate neural representations of both decision commitment and spontaneous coping behaviors. Together\, these findings support a causal role for interoceptive signaling in shaping decision-making and highlight specific neural substrates through which body–brain interactions may drive avoidance behavior. \n⏰ Time: 12:00-1:00 PM (PT)\nCome 15 minutes early (11:45 AM) to enjoy coffee\, cookies\, and conversation with the speaker and your colleagues (main campus location only) \n📍 Locations: \n\nMain Campus (in person): Gunn Rotunda (E241)\, Stanford Neurosciences Building\nStanford Research Park satellite locations:\n\n3172 Porter Drive\, Room 253\n3174 Porter Drive\, Room 140\n1070 Arastradero Road\, Room 211\n\n\n\nLearn about the SRP satellites » \nLearn more and get involved:\n\nNominate speakers for the 2026-2027 seminar series\nAbout the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Seminar Series »\nSign up to dine or meet with the seminar speakers »\nSee all upcoming and past seminars »\nSign up for Wu Tsai Neuro’s mailing list »\nJoin the #neuroscience slack channel »\n\n📅 Want to add all of the seminars to your calendar?\nDownload the calendar here or\, for live updates\, copy this link and use these instructions for subscribing to a public calendar: Outlook\, Mac\, Google Calendar. \nBest regards\, \nEmily Elrod (she/they)\nPrograms Associate | Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute\, Stanford University
