The Brain and the Gut, a Meeting of Two Minds – Professor Terry L. Powley, Purdue University
Mar 14, 2018 | health and medicine
Until now, the brain and the neural network of the gastrointestinal tract have been considered largely independent organs. Recent experiments conducted by Professor Terry Powley of Purdue University and his colleagues have fundamentally challenged this belief. Their work shines much needed light on the complex neural circuitry of the stomach and intestines and will assist the development of novel and optimised therapies for problematic gastric disorders.
