🦠 Ever wonder how your gut might be controlling your brain? We're not talking about hunger pangs here! 🧠

✨ Prepare to dive into the fascinating world of the "gut-brain axis", a biological connection that could change the way we understand mental health disorders and treatment.

🗣 Our focus is the intriguing paper, "The Gut Microbiome and the Brain" by Cryan and Dinan (2015). This research explores the intricate communication between our gut microbiome (that's all the tiny organisms living in our digestive system) and our brain.

🍲 Our gut isn't just digesting food, it's also busy producing various neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine - the "happy chemicals" that regulate mood. In fact, an estimated 90% of our body’s serotonin is made in the gut!

💠The paper uncovers a fascinating link between our gut microbiota and mood disorders like depression and anxiety. Changes in our gut microbiota, whether due to diet, stress, or antibiotics, can significantly impact our mental health.This could revolutionize the way we approach mental health treatment. Imagine a day when, instead of prescribing antidepressants, doctors might prescribe a personalized probiotic to treat depression.

💠 It's not just about what we eat, but how what we eat affects what's living inside us, and in turn, how that influences our mind. This is a powerful reminder that we are more than just our brains - we're superorganisms, in constant communication with the tiny lifeforms inside us.

🔬 So next time your gut tells you something, listen carefully! It might be more than just a gut feeling. 😉

#MedhistoryMonday
Before the 20th century, regulations did not require manufacturers of ready-made remedies to list ingredients in their medicines. Perhaps taking advantage of the popularity of the drug, Lloyd Manufacturing did advertise the cocaine in their toothache drops. The promised instantaneous relief was likely provided by the anesthetic properties of cocaine.
All Over Albany cited a Brooklyn Union article that described a method of using cocaine to numb pain in dental procedures. According to the article, teeth could be drawn and nerves removed with little or no pain.
In the early 1900s, cocaine’s drawbacks started to make the rounds, and novocaine became the preferred local anesthetic, instead.

We are about to start join in!
