How does your brain process the world, including your body? Dr Camilla Nord

Dr Camilla Nord leads the Mental Health Neuroscience programme at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambridge.
In this interview Camilla shares her thoughts on how, in the future, it will be possible to better tailor treatments for individual patients.
During the past decade there has been a move away from the idea that there’s just one biological cause behind each specific diagnosis, such as depression. Instead a new view is emerging where multiple causes require treatment interventions to target several risk factors.
I was delighted to Dr Nord’s appreciation of inner body awareness or interoception in mental health. Camilla suspects that changes to interoceptive processes may be a common feature that is helping people get better across different types of treatments.
