Study reveals new insights into human gut-brainconnection NatureComms
, providing a novel approach to study this intricate connection. The capsule was developed by Vibrant Ltd. Participants in the study included healthy adult male and female volunteers ages 18-40.
, indicating potential for studying this method in different clinical populations. This is a significant breakthrough as it demonstrates the feasibility of this novel approach to studying gut feelings.in certain areas of the brain specifically induced by capsule stimulation. These neural responses increased in amplitude depending on the intensity of the stimulation and were significantly correlated with perceptual accuracy.
"The potential clinical implications for the results of this study are substantial," said Dr. Khalsa."The vibrating capsule method could transform the clinical approach to disorders of gut-brain interaction, including eating disorders and certain gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia."

Spaceflight experience alters human brain structure, posing challenges for long-term missionsSpaceflight impacts brain structure. Longer missions lead to greater ventricle expansion, especially within the first 6 months. Shorter inter-mission intervals limit ventricle recovery. Findings reveal limits and recovery capacity of the brain during spaceflight.

Research brings hope for early treatment of brain degeneration in children with xeroderma pigmentosumXeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare and devastating genetic disorder characterized by an inability to repair skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light. As a result, patients with XP develop skin cancers, usually in childhood. Once diagnosed, they can be protected by avoiding sunlight (hence sometimes being called 'children of the night'), wearing special clothing and sunglasses, and using sunscreen.

Association of gout with brain reserve and vulnerability to neurodegenerative disease - Nature CommunicationsThe potential association between neurodegenerative disease risk and gout is not fully understood. Here the authors showed that gout is causally related to several measures of brain structure which may explain their higher vulnerability to dementia.
