Are You Listening to Your Gut? A Study on the Stomach-Brain Interaction

12:00-12:50 PM
As humans, we eat and drink every day, and our stomachs help to digest food continuously. The stomach is essential for a high-quality life, but it works so quietly that we hardly notice it. Does our stomach work independently? Does our brain watch out for and control the digesting process? To answer these questions, I will talk about current understandings of the stomach-brain interaction and introduce our work about how the brain intrinsically interacts with the stomach.
