Template:Unreviewed Emeran Anton Mayer, MD/PhD, born July 26, 1950 in Traunstein, Germany is a: Gastroenterologist, Lecturer, Author, Editor, Neuroscientist, Documentary Filmmaker and a Professor in the Departments of Medicine, Physiology and Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and pioneer of mind-body-brain medical research. [1] [2]

Dr. Emeran Mayer

The Los Angeles Times describes him as: “a kind of mind reader,” “heads a leading integrated-research program that investigates how digestive disorders arise from the connection between body and mind.” [3]

EARLY YEARS
Mayer became interested in mind-brain-body interactions in health and chronic disease as a college student at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, which inspired his decision to go to medical school at Ludwig Maximilian University Medical School His interest in documentary filmmaking galvanized this fascination and resulted in his journeys to Brazil and New Guinea to visit with native healers in exploring his suspicion that the gut’s importance in health transcends culture and time. [4]

CAREER
Dr. Mayer’s research career began at the Institute of Physiology in Munich, with a dissertation on the mechanisms by which stress and the brain affects coronary blood flow in the heart. After moving to the US, he became a gastroenterologist and focused his work on basic, translational, and clinical aspects of brain gut interactions. He has 30 years of experience studying clinical and neurobiological aspects of how the digestive and nervous systems interact in health and disease. [5]In the United States Mayer found strong support from the U.S. government via National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants. [6]

He is also the Executive Director of the Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress, and Co-director of the CURE: Digestive Diseases Research Center at UCLA. As one of the pioneers and leading researchers in the role of mind-brain-body interactions in health and chronic disease, his scientific contributions to U.S. national and international communities in the broad area of basic and translational enteric neurobiology with wide-ranging applications in clinical GI diseases and disorders is unparalleled. He has a longstanding interest in ancient healing traditions and affords them a level of respect rarely found in Western Medicine. He has personally practiced different mind based strategies, including Zen meditation, Ericksonian hypnosis, and autogenic training.

Mayer has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles,[7] [8] 90 chapters and reviews,[9] [10] and co-edited several books. [11] [12] He has also organized several interdisciplinary symposia in the area of visceral pain and mind body interactions. He is a globally sought after speaker for his seminal contributions to the characterization of physiologic alterations in patients with various chronic pain disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as on pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment approaches to this conditions.[13]

He has studied brain mechanisms underlying the effect of mind body interventions such as hypnosis, mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy on chronic pain. He is principal investigator on a center grant from the National Institutes of Health on sex-related differences in brain gut interactions, and heads the neuroimaging efforts of the NIDDK funded transMAPP (multiple approaches to pelvic pain) consortium. [14]

Most recently he has focused on several new areas of brain gut interactions, in particular on the role of the gut microbiota in influencing brain structure and function, and associated behavior, and on the role of food addiction in obesity as he explained on National Public Radio [15]
