Insular Cortex Neurons Encode and Retrieve Specific Immune Responses
I was somewhat interested in the tracing study, because I thought that would have provided some mechanistic underpinning of why you have different N grams. To me, this felt like a, it felt like an attempted mechanism that they didn't have space to go into. Some of their findings are actually in the opposite direction of what the actual colitis model showed. And then just to go back to your earliest point of, you know, what other intraseceptive signals could this be encoding when they use acetaminophen or Tylenol to block pain? It's clearly encoding more than the immune response. It's encoded the pain that's associated with it and probably the nausea and other things
