title: The brain-gut axis: a model system to study gene regulation.
abstract: The data summarized show unequivocal differences in gene regulation between the brain and the intestine in the rat. It is possible that the differences may occur partly as a reflection of cell turnover kinetics. The mechanisms accounting for these differences should provide fertile ground for investigation. I conclude that the brain-gut axis provides a model for studying differential gene regulation in animals.
