Gut Brain Axis: It is a system composed of the brain and the gut in the body. The brain and the gut work together to regulate the immune responses, enteroendocrine, liver and gallbladder metabolism, neuronal innervation, microbial metabolite signaling (Left). Gut microbes affect feeding behavior by modulating brain function: the microbiota plays an important role in Nod2 ligand production and appetite regulation through Nod2-expressing hypothalamic neurons. The brain can assess food intake and regulation body temperature by sensing changes of gut microbes (Right)
