The microbial pharmacy within us

Online event. Everybody knows that feeling you get every now and then, when you feel sad or lonely, you often feel like stuffing yourself with chocolate or other fulfilling food, to feel more comfortable or satisfied. Is it just a feeling of comfort or is your body actually acting different? Where does it come from? Is it the food itself or do we have to zoom in on our intestines and gut bacteria to explain such feelings?
At the Studium Generale, dr. Sahar El Aidy will tell you about her research on the relation between the gut and the brain, more specifically, how our gut bacteria can influence our mood, health and sometimes even the medication we take. There is still a lot to explore and discover about our guts. Voertaal is Engels. Reserveren verplicht.
