Brain-Body Interactions

⚖️ Long-range homeostatic signaling between the nervous system and other tissues is mediated by endogenous bioactive peptides 👵understand how peptidergic signaling systems are regulated in the brain, how they mediate inter-tissue communication, and how they change with age

Interested in the role of neuropeptides for longevity? Join us on Tuesday with Dr. Jennifer Garrison @jenngarrison to talk about "Bioactive peptides as mediators of systemic aging" 🧶 📅Tue, 05. Dez, 4 pm UK ➡️Register: crowdcast.io/c/brainbody-ga…

1️⃣ How does the intestine interact with its microenvironment, influencing intestinal regeneration and tumourigenesis? 2️⃣ How do long-range signals from the intestine impact whole-body in health and disease?

💡behavioral fatigue can persist even after the toxicity associated with cancer recover 💡 @EGVichaya will present data that suggest that limit metabolic resources during cancer promote utilization of habit-based behavioral strategies that serve to maintain fatigue behavior

▶️ Cancer-related fatigue is a prominent and debilitating side effect of cancer and its treatment ▶️ both peripherally and centrally processes may contribute: metabolic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, pre-cachexia, and inflammation. But..

Join us later today to hear about how microbiota shape social behaviour in zebra fish!

💥 zebrafish microbiota is necessary for normal social behavior 💥 by stimulating microglial remodeling of forebrain circuits during early neurodevelopment
