neuropod cells
Specialized neurons in the gut that are sensitive to amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids, sending signals to the brain that influence food preference and dopamine release.

Controlling Sugar Cravings & Metabolism with Science-Based Tools | Huberman Lab Podcast #64
Andrew Huberman
Neurons within the gut that respond to the presence of sugar, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, sending electrical signals to the brain via the vagus nerve to trigger dopamine release and increase appetite.
Using Salt to Optimize Mental & Physical Performance | Huberman Lab
Andrew Huberman
Neurons residing in the gut that detect substances like fatty acids, amino acids, and sugar, sending signals to the brain via the vagus nerve to influence cravings and dopamine release.
How to Enhance Your Gut Microbiome for Brain & Overall Health
Andrew Huberman
Gut neurons akin to taste receptors, discovered by Diego Bohorquez's lab, that are activated by nutrients like sugar, fatty acids, and amino acids, sending signals to the brain via the vagus nerve to influence food seeking behavior.
Food & Supplements for Brain Health & Cognitive Performance | Huberman Lab Essentials
Andrew Huberman
Specialized neurons in the gut that are sensitive to amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids, sending signals to the brain that influence food preference and dopamine release.
The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis | Dr. Diego Bohórquez
Andrew Huberman
Specialized neuroepithelial cells in the gut and other epithelial layers of the body that are electrically excitable and detect external stimuli like temperature, pH, and chemical concentrations, then rapidly communicate to the nervous system.
