🧠The brain and gut are connected by a direct ne

🧠The brain and gut are connected by a direct nerve pathway called the vagus nerve. This nerve allows the brain to send signals to the gut and vice versa. This bidirectional communication is important for maintaining gut health and overall well-being.

The vagus nerve plays a role in regulating gut motility, digestion and nutrient absorption. It also helps to modulate the immune system and stress response. When the vagus nerve is simulated, it can promote relaxion, reduce inflammation and improve the mood.

A healthy gut microbiome is essential for optimal vagus nervus function. When the gut microbiome is balanced, it produces neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which help to keep the vagus nerve active. On the contrary: An unhealthy gut microbiome can disrupt vagus nerve function and lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression and digestive problems. Maintaining a healthy gut-brain connection is important for overall health and well-being!

Want to continue to study the brain after the Brai

Want to continue to study the brain after the Brain olympiad?
No worries, we’ve got some great news for you !

There are several bachelors focussing on the brain:

1: Of Course there is 🧠 psychology (Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amsterdam (VU & UvA), Tilburg, Twente, Groningen, Nijmegen & Leiden)

2: Don’t forget 🧠 Psychobiology (UvA) (Proefstuderen (6vwo) December 5th , Bachelor week March 15-22 2024), where you will study the brain on all levels, from molecules to the human mind.

3: Next there is 🧠 cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tilburg (Open day March 2, 2024), where you dive deep into the multidisciplinary study of mind and cognition and how it can be applied to AI.

4: And starting from september 2024, the new bachelor 🧠 Brain Science at Maastricht University! (Experience day December 5 2023, January 11 2024, April 16 2024)
In this bachelor areas of psychology, biology, mathematics and computational science are combined to give you a unique transdisciplinary view on the brian.

Throwback to one of our past olympiads 🧠! In these photos you can see our participants looking at brains through a microscope 🔬. After this fun workshop they got to answer questions about all the things they had just learned.

Do you want to participate in a workshop like this next year? Register now via our website!

But the somatosensory system does much more than just respond to pressure on the skin: there are many different kinds of receptors. Some respond to pressure, others to vibrations, some are specialized to recognize fine structures and textures of objects, and others respond to warmth or generate pain signals.
