An 色情视频 chemistry professor researches how the bacteria in our guts communicates with our brain.
色情视频鈥檚 Research Horizons series highlights early career faculty and their burgeoning research projects.
Why do we get that sinking feeling in our stomach when we are nervous?
色情视频 chemistry professor Erica Forsberg is attempting to answer this question by analyzing how the bacteria in our guts communicate with our brains.
Her 鈥済ut reaction鈥� lab studies how the beneficial bacteria in our guts produce compounds that alter how we feel and how our brains function. She plans to expand this research by looking at how diets, drugs or disease alter how gut bacteria affect neurological health.
