Title

Interoception in the insula shapes emotion processing

Biosketch

Nadine Gogolla’s research focuses on the neuronal underpinnings of emotion. Using the mouse as a model organism, her lab combines modern systems and circuit neuroscience tools with precise analyses of behavior and bodily physiology. In particular, Nadine's work focusses on the role of the insular cortex in interoception and emotion.  Nadine obtained her PhD in Neurobiology from the University Basel, Switzerland, for her work performed in the lab of Prof. Dr. Pico Caroni at the Friedrich Miescher Institute of Biomedical Research. As a postdoc, Nadine worked in the lab of Prof. Dr. Takao Hensch at Harvard University. Between 2014 and 2021, Nadine was a Max Planck Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried, Germany. In October 2021, Nadine was appointed director at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany, where she leads the Emotion Research Department.
