Authors: A meal provides a multifaceted code that informs the brain about the type and amount of nutrients consumed. This, in turn, influences immediate feeding decisions, such as when to stop eating, and future feeding decisions, such as food preferences and foraging behavior. The duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine, plays a pivotal role in this intricate process. It rapidly senses and relays mechanical and chemical information to the brain via vagal sensory neurons located in the nodose ganglia (NG). However, the underlying gut-brain neurocircuit by which this rich sensory data translates into distinct behavioral outcomes remains poorly understood.
