An editable high resolution scientific image depicting Vagus nerve and gut brain pathway connecting gut microbiota, vagus nerve, and prefrontal cortex

Description

mPFC connects via NTS. Vagus afferents transmit gut signals to NTS, influencing neuroinflammation and behavior. Gut cross-section shows microbiota-host crosstalk through metabolites interacting with epithelial/immune cells. Vagotomy abolishes microbiota-driven brain effects, confirming vagal mediation. mPFC projections suggest polysynaptic gut-brain pathways that mechanisms unclear.
