The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
The cell bodies of these neurons or the relevant neurons are actually up near the neck. So you can think of them as a clump of grapes, 'cause cell bodies tend to be round or oval-ish. And then they send a process that we call an axon in one direction out to the gut and they'll send another process up into the brain. And that little cluster near the neck that's relevant here is called the nodose ganglion, N-O-D-O-S-E.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
about 85% of the neurons in the vagus nerve, have a cell body with that DNA, with the nucleus in it, sitting in an area kind of near your neck and back of your head, sort of, what we call the brain stem, and it's called the 'nodose ganglion'.
