Improve Brain Function With Nutrition
Associate professor at the University of Lausanne and also affiliated with Loyola University in Chicago, Virginie Mansuy Aubert research uses transgenic mouse models and advanced culture techniques. Her team is working on sensory neurons that respond to changes in diet and in the microbiota. The microbiota / neuron interaction generates changes in the brain and peripheral nerve systems that regulate appetite, heart function, energy expenditure and somatosensory function including pain.
