The APS Neural Control & Autonomic Regulation (NCAR) Section supports scientists studying how the autonomic nervous system influences health and disease. This community connects researchers working across neural control, autonomic regulation, and related physiological and pathological conditions.
NCAR provides trainee awards, mentorship opportunities, and professional networking to help early-career scientists develop their research programs and collaborate with established investigators.
Trainees, early-career researchers, and APS members interested in autonomic nervous system research are encouraged to join NCAR, connect with colleagues, and contribute to advancing research that improves understanding and treatment of autonomic disorders.
“As Neural Control & Autonomic Regulation (NCAR) Section chair in this new APS era, I am eager to leverage my experience to work collaboratively with section members, other APS sections and the broader APS leadership. My goal is to sustain, advance and expand NCAR's membership on both national and international fronts while enhancing its scientific influence within the APS community, especially at the annual Summit meetings. Additionally, I aim to help guide and further develop the annual meeting NCAR programming, emphasizing cutting-edge science from our diverse global membership. I look forward to working with this outstanding society and membership.”
