Research Uncovers a 'Neurobiotic Sense' that Lets the Brain Respond to Gut Microbe Signals
DUKE UNIVERSITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Researchers discovered gut cells detect bacterial protein flagellin to send appetite-suppressing signals via the vagus nerve, with mice lacking this system eating larger meals, study shows.

A study by Duke University, USA, found a direct line between that organ and the microbiome that can affect mood and behavior.
All organisms interpret the world through the senses. But science is becoming more and more clear that the five most popular (hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste) are probably insufficient to address all interactions with the environment around us. A new research published in Nature magazine, showcase of the best world science, has now discovered a species of new hidden sixth sense, located in the intestine.
Research uncovers a 'neurobiotic sense' that lets the brain respond to gut microbe signals
In a breakthrough that reimagines the way the gut and brain communicate, researchers have uncovered what they call a "neurobiotic sense," a newly identified system that lets the brain respond in real time to signals from microbes living in our gut.
Scientists Discover 'Sixth Sense' In The Gut That Controls How Much We Eat
The human body may have a previously unknown sense that rivals sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing in importance, and it's located in the gut. The post Scientists Discover ‘Sixth Sense’ In The Gut That Controls How Much We Eat appeared first on Study Finds.
An Extra Sense May Connect Gut Bacteria With Our Brain
According to new research, communication between the gut and the brain is sophisticated enough to be classed as a new and distinct sense – one capable of affecting our appetite and even our mood. This two-way link has previously been associated with a variety of health issues, though the physical processes at work have never been clearly identified. Building on what we already know about our digestive and neurological systems, a team from Duke U…
