Inside out: how the gut changes the brain’s view of the world
Professors Fiona Gribble and Paul Fletcher give an open lecture as part of the Cambridge Science Festival. It is tempting to see the brain and gut as fulfilling different roles, one concerned with higher matters while the other does the dirty work. We challenge this view and show that close interactions between the brain and gut shape our eating behaviours. Followed by a chance to meet the presenters and discuss the topic with them and other attendees over drinks. BOOKING…
