Neuro Awareness: The Intriguing Connection between the Brain and the Gut

Neuro Awareness: The Intriguing Connection between the Brain and the Gut

To commemorate the Brain Awareness Week, Medical News Today on March 19, 2020, complied a set of facts relating with how our nervous system and the gut are conversant with each other, on an unfathomable level.

The gut, a sensitive body organ, is intertwined with the brain in the following ways:

• Foods with a substantial level of sucrose can disorient nerve chemistry, through alteration of the opioid and dopamine brain systems.
• There’s a tight correlation between gut bacteria and gut health, with Scientists looking into ways that the former can brain behaviour.
• Through the vagus nerve, Parkinson disease-causing clamps might get to the brain, and end up destroying dopamine cells which leads to invariable symptoms of the ailment.

 

A new year, new enchanting brain discoveries

Scientists argue that yawning has an unprecedented contagion power. An increase in the motor cortex’s excitement can propel an individual’s urge to yearn.

Neurogenesis- production o.

f new neurons, is a continuous lifetime process. While most adults have to do with the neurons they acquire at birth; neurogenesis keeps occurring in all realms of the brain tissue until death.

A new cell has been discovered: rosehip neurons. It is attributed to impacting the performance of other in-class neurons (at least two-thirds of all neurons found in a human’s cerebral context).
