NeuroGASTRO 2023, the leading meeting in Europe held by ESNM on the latest developments in neurogastroenterology, digestive motility, and disorders of gut-brain interaction, took place from August 31st to September 2nd, 2023. Find out more about the main takeaways from the role of fecal microbiota transplants, microbial consortia and probiotics in disorders of gut-brain interaction picked up by GMFH editors (Part 2).

NeuroGASTRO 2023, the leading meeting in Europe held by ESNM on the latest developments in neurogastroenterology, digestive motility, and disorders of the gut-brain interaction, took place from August 31st to September 2nd, 2023. Find out more what the latest research says about the involvement of the intestinal microbiota, mast cells, eosinophils and gut barrier in disorders of gut-brain interaction and dietary considerations in their management picked up by GMFH editors (Part 1).

The DDW meeting 2023 covered a huge variety of basic, translational and clinical aspects of research in gastrointestinal and extraintestinal human health and disease. This post highlights the major-takeaways from the Microbiome & Microbial Therapy sessions and unravels how they might impact daily basic research and clinical practice (part 1).

Analysing the molecular and biochemical mechanisms disturbing the complex network of communication is key to our understanding of the pathophysiology of the functional GI disorders. Together with ESNM we have prepared an exciting webinar series under the topic: Microbiota and Gut-Brain Connection: A new Frontier in Neurogastroenterology. This free resource is a great opportunity to hear leading worldwide experts presenting the most recent findings on this topic.

Meal ingestion usually induces a wealth of sensations before, during and afterwards. A new brain imaging study reveals sex-specific differences in subjective responses to a palatable meal at thalamic and insular connectivity level in healthy individuals.
