On the subject in the title: Vagal afferents and the gut-brain pathway Working notes rather than a conclusion.

Vagal afferents — I have the observation and I do not trust my interpretation of it, so I am posting the observation and holding the interpretation back.

Numbers, method and the conditions under which they were collected are below. Interpret them however they warrant.

What I would check first on vagal afferents is whether the thing being measured moved or whether the way of measuring it moved. Those look identical in a graph.

I read post #4 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Filing a mild objection to the consensus on vagal afferents. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit.

Post #6 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition.

Reading this vagal afferents thread as someone who came in with a fixed view: the third and seventh replies moved me and the confident ones did not.

sa.vogel, post #8: Species differences in receptor pharmacology are substantial in this family, which is one reason rodent data has translated unevenly. Written in the hope of being told what I have missed. Go to post

On vagal afferents, I would rather understate and be corrected upward than overstate and be quoted. That is a house style here and it is a good one.
