✍️ A new study by the Duke University School of Medicine reveals a hidden connection between the gut and brain that influences appetite, through a direct communication system between the gut microbiome and the mind.
👉 The gut and brain are connected through a direct communication system 👉 The system is centered around specialized sensory cells called neuropods 👉 The neuropods detect a common microbial protein called flagellin 👉 The flagellin sends signals to the brain through the vagus nerve 👉 The signals can help to suppress appetite and guide decision-making
