Video Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Symptoms, Treatment, Research What are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Belly pain, flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation, the urge to poo are chronic issues with IBS. There is no simple test for irritable bowel syndrome. To find the right approach to treatment is a matter of trial and error. Research has identified eating habits, stress and genetics as important factors in the development or exacerbation of IBS. You can find more information on IBS research on the homepage of our European network: https://genieur.eu/

To Learn, to Remember, To Forget - How smart is the gut? The enteric nervous system (ENS) resides within the gut wall and autonomously controls gut functions through coordinated activation of sensory, inter and motor neurons. Its activity is modulated by the enteric immune and endocrine system as well as by afferent and efferent nerves of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. The ENS is often referred to as the second brain and hence is able to perform sophisticated tasks. We review the evidence that the “smartness” of the ENS may even extend to its ability to learn and to memorize. Examples for habituation, sensitization, conditioned behaviour and long‐term facilitation are evidence for various forms of implicit learning. Acta Physiol (Oxf). 2019 May 7:e13296. doi: 10.1111/apha.13296.
