Professional dialysis recruitment| Gut bacteria influence anxiety-type behavior in mice via the vagus nerve. |

| New Scientist: "The bacteria rely on the vagus nerve," says Cryan. This nerve connects the gastrointestinal tract to the central nervous system. When the team severed the nerve in the bacteria-fed mice, their behaviour - and the expression of brain receptors - became just like the mice fed regular broth. Cryan says it's possible that chemicals produced by bacteria interfere with the nerve's activity. |
