example of gut brain connection. Premature infants

The research team found that the overgrowth of the gastrointestinal tract with the bacterium Klebsiella is associated with an increased presence of certain immune cells and the development of neurological damage in premature babies.

The study is now published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe.

New psychology is neuroscience and neurobiology.

We found that the cortex, via cortico-lateral-amygdala somatostatin neurons (CLA-SOM), has a direct inhibitory influence on the output of the LA principal neurons. Our results define a CLA long-range inhibitory circuit (CLA-SOM inhibitory projections → LA principal neurons) underlying the control of spike timing/generation in LA and LA–AC projecting neurons, and attributes a specific function to a genetically defined type of cortical long-range GABAergic neurons in CLA communication. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT It is very well established that cortical auditory inputs to the lateral amygdala are exclusively excitatory and that cortico-amygdala neuronal activity has been shown to be involved in sound-driven aversive/fear behavior. Here, for the first time, we show that the lateral amygdala receives long-range GABAergic projection from the auditory cortex and these form direct monosynaptic inhibitory connections onto lateral amygdala principal neurons. Our results define a cellu...

Fedrick Douglas was a radical abolitionist. He knew that change would not work by: “changing the hearts and minds of those in power “. The tremendous need for change, as outrage morphs into the protest, The government is faced with creating legislation at the moment on time almost immediately. actionable issues: civil rights, happens when citizens motivated by the ”shock of events” encourages them to go to the streets. only by modifying the previously held views of politics, law, and the race will the USA receive real pragmatic change. We may be dealing with unfinished healing and unfinished justice. We must finish these issues or our country will be finished. Kent Norton copyright 2020. As a singularity approached the world exploded in the chaos and revolution. A new bill in Congress: an inflection point as in 1921 there was a similar bill that was introduced just yesterday this bill was introduced. But it must be filibuster-proof “Ho...
