The 103rd Annual Meeting of The Physiological Society of Japan

Organizer/Chair: Yoriko Atomi (Teikyo University, ACRO)

The human body is essentially natural composition. However, humans alone possess unique characteristics such as language communication, the ability to construct and understand abstract concepts, and creativity manifested in diverse cultures and sports activities. At the same time, humans also have unique weaknesses, including lower back pain, knee pain, falls, and conditions like MLS. Advances in science have become increasingly specialized, element-reductive, and reliant on experimental results from model organisms. It is necessary to reinterpret the “Human Physiology" and develop a science that accurately reduces this unique existence to its fundamental principles, taking into account the unstable and highly redundant nature of the human body. Fortunately, humans possess the ability to visualize the invisible world through microscopes, to visualize movement by capturing fleeting moments in images, and not only to understand knowledge but also to interpret what they intuitively perceive as correct and to test these interpretations using their own minds and bodies. This symposium will address this issue by focusing on “body axis control" as a key to proposing solutions.
