Kafukufuku watsopano akufotokozera momwe dongosolo la mitsempha m'matumbo, dongosolo la mitsempha la enteric (ENS), limapanga kuthamangitsidwa pamodzi ndi matumbo, kuwonetsa momwe zimafanana ndi khalidwe la ma neural network ena mu ubongo ndi msana.

Kafukufuku wotsogoleredwa ndi Pulofesa Nick Spencer wa pa yunivesite ya Flinders akuumirira kuti ENS m’matumbo ndi “ubongo woyamba” ndipo inasanduka muubongo wa munthu kale kwambiri kuposa mmene timadziwira. Zomwe zapezazi zikuwonetsa zambiri zatsopano zokhudzana ndi momwe ma neuroni masauzande ambiri mu ENS amalankhulirana wina ndi mnzake kuti apangitse kuti minofu igwirizane ndikukankhira zomwe zili mkatimo. Mpaka pano, iyi yakhala nkhani yaikulu yosathetsedwa.

Mu pepala latsopano Communication Biology (Chilengedwe), Pulofesa Nick Spencer wa Flinders University adanena kuti zomwe zapezedwa posachedwa ndizovuta kwambiri kuposa momwe zimayembekezeredwa, ndipo zimatulutsidwa kuchokera kumadzi omwe ali kumbuyo kwake, ngati palibe kusamvana komwe kumachitika. Njira za ziwalo zina za minofu zasintha machitidwe osiyanasiyana; monga zotengera za lymphatic, ureters kapena portal mitsempha.

Pulofesa Nick Spencer wa ku yunivesite ya Flinders adafalitsa kafukufuku watsopano pa Communications Biology kuti afotokoze momwe dongosolo la mitsempha m'matumbo, ndiko kuti, momwe dongosolo la mitsempha la enteric (ENS) limayendera m'matumbo, ndikugogomezera kuti likugwirizana machitidwe a ma neural network ena muubongo ndi msana.

Kafukufukuyu akutsindika kuti ENS m’matumbo ndi “ubongo woyamba” umene unasintha kalekale ubongo wa munthu usanasinthe. Zomwe zapeza zatsopanozi zimawulula zatsopano zofunikira za momwe masauzande ambiri a neuroni mu dongosolo lamanjenje amalankhulirana wina ndi mzake, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti minofu igwirizane ndi kukankhira zomwe zili.
