Professor of Medicine and Neurobiology at Duke University, pioneering researcher specializing in gut sensing mechanisms and the gut-brain axis, investigating how the enteric nervous system communicates with the central nervous system
Dr. Diego Bohórquez is a distinguished Professor of Medicine and Neurobiology at Duke University School of Medicine. He is a leading researcher in the field of neurogastroenterology, focusing on understanding the complex communication pathways between the gut and the brain. His groundbreaking work explores the enteric nervous system and sensory mechanisms of the gastrointestinal tract, contributing significant insights into how gut signals influence brain function and human health. His research has implications for understanding conditions ranging from metabolic disorders to neurological diseases.

Topic: The scientific understanding of the gut-brain axis, gut sensing, and how nutrition and gut communication influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
