Scientists Uncover New ‘Neurobiotic Sense’ Linking Gut Microbes Directly to the Brain
In a recent discovery, neuroscientists at Duke University School of Medicine has uncovered a previously unknown communication system, dubbed the “neurobiotic sense,” which allows the brain to respond to signals from gut microbes in real time. This rapid-response mechanism is dependent on a specialized sensory cells lining the colon, called neuropods. Researchers found that these […]
