Journal ArticleDOI
The intestinal microbiota affect central levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor and behavior in mice.
Premysl Bercik,Emmanuel Denou,Josh Collins,Wendy Jackson,Jun Lu,Jennifer Jury,Yikang Deng,Patricia Blennerhassett,Joseph Macri,Kathy D. McCoy,Elena F. Verdu,Stephen M. Collins +11 more
TL;DR: The intestinal microbiota influences brain chemistry and behavior independently of the autonomic nervous system, gastrointestinal-specific neurotransmitters, or inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Spin-Plane Double Probe Electric Field Instrument for MMS
Per-Arne Lindqvist,Göran F. Olsson,Roy B. Torbert,B. King,M. Granoff,D. Rau,G. Needell,S. Turco,I. Dors,P. Beckman,Joseph Macri,C. Frost,J. Salwen,Anders Eriksson,L. Åhlén,Yuri V. Khotyaintsev,J. Porter,K. Lappalainen,Robert E. Ergun,W. Wermeer,S. Tucker +20 more
TL;DR: The spin-plane double probe instrument (SDP) is part of the FIELDS instrument suite of the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission (MMS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Gastrointestinal Inflammation Induces Anxiety-Like Behavior and Alters Central Nervous System Biochemistry in Mice
Premysl Bercik,Elena F. Verdu,Jane A. Foster,Jane A. Foster,Joseph Macri,Murray A. Potter,Xiaxing Huang,Paul Malinowski,Wendy Jackson,Patricia Blennerhassett,Karen A Neufeld,Karen A Neufeld,Jun Lu,Waliul I. Khan,Irene Corthesy-Theulaz,Christine Cherbut,Gabriela Bergonzelli,Stephen M. Collins +17 more
TL;DR: Chronic gastrointestinal inflammation induces anxiety-like behavior and alters central nervous system biochemistry, which can be normalized by inflammation-dependent and -independent mechanisms, neither of which requires the integrity of the vagus nerve.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Axial Double Probe and Fields Signal Processing for the MMS Mission
Robert E. Ergun,S. Tucker,J. Westfall,K. A. Goodrich,David M. Malaspina,D. Summers,J. Wallace,Mats O. Karlsson,J. Mack,N. Brennan,B. Pyke,P. Withnell,Roy B. Torbert,Joseph Macri,D. Rau,I. Dors,J. Needell,Per-Arne Lindqvist,Göran F. Olsson,Christopher Cully +19 more
TL;DR: The axial double probe (ADP) instrument on the magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) spacecraft has been used to measure DC electric field with a precision of ∼ 1.1mV/m, a resolution of ∼ 25μV/μ, and a range of ∼±1 V/m in most of the plasma environments MMS will encounter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probiotic Bifidobacterium longum NCC3001 Reduces Depression Scores and Alters Brain Activity: A Pilot Study in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Maria Ines Pinto-Sanchez,Geoffrey B. Hall,Kathy Ghajar,Andrea Nardelli,Carolina Bolino,Jennifer T. Lau,François-Pierre Martin,Ornella Cominetti,Christopher Welsh,Amber Rieder,Jenna M. Traynor,Caitlin Gregory,Giada De Palma,Marc Pigrau,Alexander C. Ford,Joseph Macri,Bernard Berger,Gabriela Bergonzelli,Michael G. Surette,Stephen M. Collins,Paul Moayyedi,Premysl Bercik +21 more
TL;DR: In a placebo-controlled trial, the probiotic BL reduces depression but not anxiety scores and increases quality of life in patients with IBS, associated with changes in brain activation patterns that indicate that this probiotic reduces limbic reactivity.
