2. Vagus nerve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagus_nerve

   The vagus nerve is also responsible for regulating inflammation in the body, via the inflammatory reflex. [7] Efferent vagus nerve fibers innervating the pharynx and back of the throat are responsible for the gag reflex. In addition, 5-HT 3 receptor-mediated afferent vagus stimulation in the gut due to gastroenteritis is a cause of vomiting. [8]

3. Gut–memory connection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut–memory_connection

   They are connected to the brain through the vagus nerve, which seems to be the main mediator of gut-brain communication. [16] Around 90% of the vagus nerve fibers connecting the brain and the ENS are afferent, meaning that the brain receives more information from the digestive system than it sends out. [17]

4. Vagovagal reflex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagovagal_reflex

   Vagovagal reflex refers to gastrointestinal tract reflex circuits where afferent and efferent fibers of the vagus nerve [1] coordinate responses to gut stimuli via the dorsal vagal complex in the brain. The vagovagal reflex controls contraction of the gastrointestinal muscle layers in response to distension of the tract by food.

   The findings align with prior research suggesting that misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins may spread from the gut to the brain via the vagus nerve, offering further support for the hypothesis that ...

   The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, often called the “rest and digest” system because it helps the body relax after periods of stress and regulates bodily functions ...

8. Gut–brain axis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut–brain_axis

   The gut microbiota also release molecules that can directly activate the vagus nerve, which transmits information about the state of the intestines to the brain. [ 32 ] Likewise, chronic or acutely stressful situations activate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis , causing changes in the gut microbiota and intestinal epithelium , and ...

9. Enteric nervous system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteric_nervous_system

   Layers of the Alimentary Canal.The wall of the alimentary canal has four basic tissue layers: the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa. The enteric nervous system in humans consists of some 500 million neurons [11] (including the various types of Dogiel cells), [1] [12] 0.5% of the number of neurons in the brain, five times as many as the one hundred million neurons in the human spinal ...
