Learn how feeding mice a high-fat diet can weaken their gut barrier, allowing bacteria to enter the brain, which suggests a ...

In a series of experiments, researchers found that a communication pathway between the brain and the gut may be integral to how well the brain holds on to memories. The genesis for the study came ...

A high-fat diet can cause the intestinal lining to weaken, allowing live gut bacteria to travel directly to the brain in mice ...

Gut dysbiosis caused by a high-fat diet can allow bacteria to move from the gut to the brain in mice, according to a new ...

Have you ever heard of the gut-brain axis in dogs? This bidirectional communication network impacts your pup's overall health ...

A new study from Emory University explains the gut-brain connection, indicating that live bacteria from the gut can directly ...

The gut rarely gets the attention the heart or brain receives. Yet it quietly controls digestion, immunity, metabolism, and ...

Researchers have identified two gut bacteria that can produce serotonin, a key chemical that regulates bowel movements. In experiments with mice lacking serotonin, the microbes boosted serotonin ...

A study in mice concluded that memory problems associated with age may be driven by our gut microbiome and that the vagus nerve may be key to reversing it.

Researchers found that gut microbes may contribute to memory loss by disrupting signals between the intestine and the brain.

High-fat diets allow gut bacteria to travel to the brain via the vagus nerve, potentially triggering neurological disorders.

Although we've all experienced the sensation of "eating" with our eyes and noses before food meets mouth, much less is known about the information superhighway, known as the vagus nerve, that sends ...
