Neurons in Our Gut Influence Our Mood
17:57 - 28:55 (10:58)
Special types of neurons present in or near the gut track nutrients and microbes in the gut and send signals to the brain that can influence our food choices and mood. The chemistry of our gut, which is determined by the foods we eat, plays a crucial role in the balance of microbiota in our gut that can impact our mood.
