The 99th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Pharmacological Society

Chair:Hiroshi Hibino(Div. of Glocal Pharmacol., Dept. of Pharmacol, Grad. Sch. of Med., Osaka Univ.), Takeshi Y Hiyama(Tottori University)

To maintain the stable internal environment of the body (homeostasis), sensory feedback from both internal and external sources, as well as anticipatory control and adaptive physiological changes, are essential. Understanding these dynamic regulatory mechanisms requires high spatiotemporal measurement of physiological responses, including changes in body fluid composition and hormone levels, body temperature, heart rate, and proprioception, together with mathematical modeling based on quantitative time-series data. In this symposium, researchers in medicine and life sciences who have advanced homeostasis research will join engineers specializing in precise and highly sensitive measurement technologies, as well as information scientists specializing in biological systems engineering, to discuss the concepts and key enabling technologies required for future homeostasis research.
