Weer even on topic: alweer de grote invloed van de Nervus Vagus als communicatielijn tussen brein en darm en vice versa!

Vroeger Nervus Vagus doorgesneden bij maagoperatie? Dan nu veel minder kans op Parkinson. Meer dan 50% minder...Wat doen we toch bij de neurologie?

Importantly, the team showed the exact mechanism by which the procedure works: Vagus nerve stimulation activates immune system cells to inhibit the production of key inflammatory proteins, called cytokines, implicated in the disease.
“We wanted to know if we could selectively block cytokines in humans with electrons. The answer is yes,” says study co-author Kevin Tracey, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York and co-founder of SetPoint Medical Corporation, which funded the study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “We began with the mechanism and ended with the mechanism.”
Using mild pulses of electricity to treat disease, so-called “bioelectronic medicine” or “electroceuticals” is not new, but knowing exactly how it works in the body for a particular disease is a step forward. Many medical devices are approved and put to use without knowledge of what downstream molecular events they cause in the body.[/QUOTE]
