# International Society for Neurogastronomy Symposium

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The objective of this conference grant request is to provide support for certain aspects of
the annual meeting of the International Society of Neurogastronomy (ISN) for the next five
years. ISN is still a relatively new society whose composition of scientists, clinicians,
nutritionists, agricultural experts, food service professionals, and chefs naturally
predisposes it to focus on translational issues fundamental to how the chemical senses
impact human health. The first two specific objectives are to provide a venue and
opportunity that brings these groups together and facilitates the synergies that arise when
distinctly different fields interact productively. The third specific objective is to attract,
stimulate, and promote the careers of the young scientists that are the future of the field of
neurogastronomy. The fourth specific objective is to do outreach that serves health and
culinary professionals by informing them about the impact that smell and taste has upon
diet, nutrition, and the growing health problems of obesity-related diseases. The fifth
specific objective is to ensure that this new field embraces a culture of diversity, weaving
this principle into its early development by recruiting persons of diverse backgrounds to the
conference.
