In July 2024 The Journal of Physiology supported a focused meeting in Oxford that was associated with the International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience (ISAN 2024). This 2-day meeting provided a framework to assemble opinion leaders in the field and also facilitated the opportunity for younger investigators from the bioengineering, physiological and medical communities to interact. A special issue of The Journal of Physiology, entitled Cardiac Neurobiology: Concepts to Clinic, highlights the deliberations from this meeting. The issue is co-edited by our Head of Department Professor David Paterson, with Professor Kalyanam Shivkumar and features several papers by DPAG scientists. In particular, the issue starts with an update on the three white papers that were published in 2016, which gather the opinions of 52 leading experts in the field as they review the major advances that have taken place in the past 8 years.
