PNAS: Study Reveals Link between Brain and Bowel

2020 May 20 News / BioValley BIOON / --- In a recent study, a neuroscientist at the Brain Research Institute of the University of Pittsburgh have found a neural pathway connecting the brain to the stomach, thus providing a biological mechanism to explain how to promote the development of pressure ulcersstudy published this week in "PNAS" magazine, the scientific basis for the effects of brain organ function, and stressed the importance of the link between the brain and bodyfar, Exploration gut - Brain Research focused on the interaction of intestinal microbial groups and the brainBut this is not a one-way road, will also affect the brain function of the stomach(Source: Www.pixabay.com) DrPeterStrick Scientific Officer and Chairman of neurobiologyBrain Institute, said: "Pavlov years ago to prove the use of the central nervous system and environmental signals past experience to promote effective digestion to produce the expected reactionand, we knew, and every increase in unemployment-related stress has been associated with increased mortality of gastric ulcers"
order to find the areas of the brain to control intestinal tract, the authors used to track rabies strains connection from the brain to the stomachAfter being injected into the stomach of rats, the tracer by the virus from the brain back to shuttle between neuronsAnd ultimately help reveal areas of the brain controls the stomachStrikerSol and Levin found, mainly via the parasympathetic nervous system dating back from the stomach region of the brain, which is called the medulla hair region responsible visceral sensory and emotional regulation"The feeling stomach to send information to the cortex, the cortex sends instructions back to the intestineThis means that our 'stomach feeling' not only signals from the stomach constructed, but also from all other influences on the tip of the island of insulation, for example, past experience and background "a contrast, sympathetic signaling pathways in the central nervous system we will attack under pressure, mainly from the stomach back into the primary motor cortex, while the active control of the primary motor cortex bone is move around parts of the body muscles identify these neural pathways leading to the brain and stomach may provide new insights into common intestinal disease e.g., Helicobacter pylori infection normally trigger the formation of ulcers, but the decrement signals from the cerebral cortex may be an intruder or less hospitable bacteria, thereby affecting bacterial growth by adjusting the gastric secretions These insights may also learn to change clinical practice Gastroenterology, provide new solutions to intestinal problems for doctors (BioValley Bioon.com) Information Source: Studytracesbrain-to-gutconnections original source: DavidJ.Levinthalelal, "Multipleareasofthecerebralcortexinfluencethestomach, "
