Vagal gut-brain signaling mediates amygdaloid plasticity, affect, and pain in a functional dyspepsia model

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is associated with chronic gastrointestinal distress and with anxiety and depression. Here, we hypothesized that aberrant gastric signals, transmitted by the vagus nerve, may alter key brain regions modulating affective and pain behavior. Using a previously validated rat mo...
