The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an insanely complex nervous system that controls our gut, interacts with our brain, and is vital to our wellbeing.

🥼 Our lab is interested in how the cells of the ENS are regulated in many aspects of health and disease.

How do gut signals shape motivation? After years of hard work led by the fabulous @corcerebrum.bsky.social, we show that ghrelin infusions increase hunger, food motivation, and FC between the hypothalamus and the striatum. This is driven by more pulses in the NAcc.

Ecstatic to share our paper on nutrient signaling in the #EntericNervousSystem published in Nature! 🧪

We explored how neurons in the gut respond to basic nutrients that we typically ingest and tested whether they can distinguish between different nutrients 🔬
