From cognition in the body to the body in cognition

Carlos Ribeiro and Albino Oliveira-Maia propose how brain–body interactions may inform the study of ‘higher’ cognitive functions such as learning and memory across model systems.

Very excited to share this finding from my postdoctoral work that is now published in #ScienceAdvances. We show how the gut’s epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Thread ⬇️ (1/n)

Gut epithelium modifies enteric behaviors during nutritional adversity via distinct peptidergic signaling axes

Gut epithelium modulates output from distinct enteric circuits by altering secretion of insulin and noninsulin peptides.
