The Gut as a Sensory Organ - To the Brain and Back
Date
May 20, 2024
SOCIETY: AGA This is a cutting-edge research symposium focused on how information about nutrients, microbes and other luminal signals is communicated from the gut to the central nervous system (CNS) by vagal and spinal afferent nerves, and in turn, how efferent fibers coming down from the vagus nerve to the gut modulate digestive function. The session brings together established and emerging leaders in the field of gut-brain communication to present the latest advances in this rapidly evolving area and review how this bidirectional communication impacts GI symptoms.
