ICYMI: New online! A neurobiotic sense curbs feeding: a new frontier in gut–brain communication

A neurobiotic sense curbs feeding: a new frontier in gut–brain communication

Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Published online: 02 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41575-025-01126-zIn a new study by Liu and colleagues, researchers demonstrated a novel neuroepithelial circuit in colonic neuropod cells through which a molecular pattern from resident microorganisms was relayed to the brain — a ‘neurobiotic sense’ by which the host adjusted its feeding behaviour by monitoring a gut microbial pattern.

Ever noticed your crying baby quiets when you carry them? It’s an evolutionary response.

Both infants and mice pups reduced crying, and lower heart rate when carried compared to being held while sitting.

⏳ How to Break Bedtime Procrastination

📵 Limit blue light
⏰ Set a “wind-down” alarm → A cue to start relaxing.
🎧 Swap scrolling for audio → Podcasts or music help detach.
🌿 Consider melatonin
🔁 Stick to a schedule → Consistent bed & wake times regulate your body clock.

5 things I did this week to contribute to society:

1. Staid home when sick to protect others
2. Random acts of kindness as they tend to multiply
3. Recycled, to protect this earth
4. Donate/volunteer to give back to others
5. Shared evidence based health information to counteract misinformation

🆕🔥Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, or Hypnotherapy for GI disorders: Similar Mechanisms of Action?
🎯Evidence is building for mind body medicine in gut diseases‼️ @drvantilburg.bsky.social
✅Yoga, meditation & hypnotherapy may be beneficial for GI disorders👏
👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

• Evidence is building for mind body medicine in gut diseases.
• Yoga, meditation and hypnotherapy may be beneficial because they create a deeply focused state of attention while introducing ideas or suggestions that encourage positive change.
• More studies are need to examine the overlapping and shared mechanisms of mind-body approaches.
