The Visceral Mind: The Role of the Body in Affect

Does the visceral body matter for affect—and the mind and behavior more generally? My research program broadly seeks to understand (1) how the visceral body matters for the mind, (2) how the brain and mind represent the body, and (3) how these relations may change and develop across the lifespan. To test these pathways, I focus on affect as a working model while bringing together theories and methods from social and developmental psychology, psychophysiology, psychopharmacology, and neuroimaging. To illustrate this program of work, I present findings on hunger and metabolic contributions to emotion, beta-adrenergic signaling during acute stress, and the role of the aging body and brain in late-life affect. Finally, I discuss envisioned future directions for this work, while arguing that rather than asking if the visceral body matters, we should be asking how much and when.
