(e.g., socioeconomic status, geographical location) in influencing the microbiome, explored changes in the microbiome that might occur across typical development, provided an overview of the polyvagal theory of the autonomic connection between the brain and gut, and analyzed the literature on ...
Understanding the neural processes governing the human gut-brain connection has been challenging due to the inaccessibility of the body’s interior. Here, we investigated neural responses to gastrointestinal sensation using a minimally invasive mechanosensory probe by quantifying brain, stomach, and perceptu...
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 ...
A New Connection Between the Gut and the Brain December 06, 2018 It is well known that a high salt diet leads to high blood pressure, a risk factor for an array of health problems, including heart disease and stroke. But over the last decade, studies across human populations have reported...
Chris Kresser:OK, yeah, so as I said, we’ve talked about the gut-brain connection, we’ve talked about the gut-skin connection, the gut-immune connection, so of course, why not the gut-heart connection? It shouldn’t surprise us that there is a strong connection between gut health an...
An important factor stimulating the engagement in both competitive and recreational exercise is the motivating pleasure derived from prolonged physical activity, which is triggered by exercise-induced neurochemical changes in the brain. Here, we report on the discovery of a gut–brain connection in ...
I only argue that even species without the brain as we know it can possibly have consciousness. Nevertheless, what about the second part of the axis – the microbiome? Does the existence of consciousness depend on the existence of the symbiotic bacteria? If the hologenome theory is correct, ...
Such a system could in theory distill the representation relevant to the host biology from the ones related to the experimental procedure. We have tested such possible systems. However, they seem to require more and larger experiments than are currently available. Beyond its application as a ...
SUGGESTED for you Gut-Brain Connection in PD In the past, vagotomy was commonly performed for peptic ulcer, the researchers note in their paper. The two most common procedures were full truncal vagotomy, in which both vagal trunks were severed, and superselective vagotomy, in which only the ...
6) Dr. Emily Deans - The Gut-Brain Connection In this master class, Emily shares the deep connection between the gut and the brain and how addressing the gut can begin to alleviate the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders. ...
