Neural Basis of Meal Related Interoceptive Dysfunction in Anorexia Nervosa
Recruiting

2015-10-01
This study aims to identify the brain regions responsible for encoding cardiorespiratory
'interoceptive' sensations and determine whether they are dysfunctional in individuals
affected by eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or brain injury. By evaluating the same
interoceptive sensations across different human illnesses, the investigators hope to provide
convergent evidence resulting in identification of core underlying neural processes, and to
discern relative contributions in each condition.

Objective: In this pilot study, we will test the hypothesis that patients with POTS (age
18-60 years) will have a higher percentage of functional antibodies to adrenergic receptors
compared with control subjects without POTS.
Autoimmune Basis for Postural Tachycardia Syndrome
Enrolling by invitation
University of Oklahoma
N/A
2016-02-01
The purpose of this study is to see if some people with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
have higher levels of immune proteins (autoantibodies) directed against receptors of the
autonomic nervous system, and if these autoantibodies make a difference in their POTS
symptoms. The investigators also want to see if the levels of these autoantibodies stay the
same over time.
