Neuropod Cells Are Activated by Sugar Fatty Acids and Ameno Acids
Neurons have a cell body that we call a soma. That's where all the dna are contained. And then they send a process that we call an axon in one direction, out to the gut, and they'll send another process up into the brain. These neuropod cells were discovered by diego bohorke lab at duke university. This is a phenomenal set of discoveries made mostly in the last ten years. They're sensing several different nutrients, but in particular, when they scent sugar, they send signals in the form of electrical firing up to the brain which triggers activation of other brain stations.
