Gut-Brain Axis
Two-way communication between gut and brain
The gut-brain axis describes the ongoing exchange of signals between the digestive tract and the central nervous system. Gut hormones, nerve signals, and microbial products can influence brain areas involved in appetite, mood, and stress responses. GLP-1 and related compounds are studied in part because they engage parts of this communication network.
