Rethinking eating norms: New study probes stomach-brain dynamics

Investigating the widely accepted notion that the communication between the stomach and brain regulates overeating, a recent study at UC San Francisco aimed to test this hypothesis. By examining the intricate workings of our digestive system, researchers explored how signals during a meal influence our eating behavior. The study’s results shed light on the complex relationship between physiological signals, challenging our understanding of how the body controls food intake.
