Stomach problems are one of the most common symptoms of stress and anxiety. Researchers have identified a connection between the gut and the brain. Like the brain, your gut is full of nerves called the enteric nervous system, or ENS, also referred to as the “second brain”. The enteric n...
胃肠病学家可能会为IBS开一些特定的抗抑郁药,例如,并不是因为他们认为问题出在患者的头上,而是因为这些药物在某些情况下会通过作用于肠道中的神经细胞来缓解症状,Pasricha解释说。他说:“像CBT这样的心理干预措施也可能有助于“改善大脑和大脑之间的交流”,”他说。 进一步了解Mind-Gut Link Pasricha说研究表明,消化...
The brain-gut axis (BGA) is a complex, bidirectional communication system between enteric nervous system and central nervous system and in healthy organism it is an essential pathway in regulating the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Main manifestations of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS...
Interestingly, the connection works both ways, meaning that while stress can cause gut problems, gut problems can also wreak havoc on your emotions. The Harvard researchers continue: This connection goes both ways. A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can...
Gut-brain connection One of the most important advances is a deepened understanding of the mechanism of IBS, which is now characterized as a disorder of the gut-brain interaction, says Hunt. Signals from the gut that might go unnoticed in individuals without IBS instead get transmitted to and ...
The present review describes advances in understanding the mechanisms and provide an update of present and promising therapy directed at the gut or the brain in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The diagnosis of IBS typically is based on identification of symptoms, such as the Rome...
pathway called the gut-brain axis. Your gut’s main connection to the brain is the vagus nerve. This nerve also controls messages that are sent to the heart, lungs, and other organs. Additionally, hormones and other neurotransmitters travel along the gut-brain axis to send messages chemically...
As a major bidirectional highway of brain-gut connection, the afferent branch of the vagus nerve has been the focus of multiple studies examining its effects on brain-gut communication in health and disease.14,84 Although the sensory vagus nerve and ENS are intrinsically linked, the mechanisms ...
IBS is the most common brain–gut disorder and a major cause of chronic abdominal pain. Here, Mayer and colleagues describe the key components of the gut–brain–microbiota axis in IBS and present a systems-based view of how these components interact to integrate the central, peripheral and be...
IBS sufferers have long understood the connection between their gut symptoms and mental health. Indeed, mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are a common comorbidity of IBS. (6) However, this problem has only recently begun to receive the attention it deserves from the medical com...
