Manon Eileen put me onto this link on Twitter today. It appears that the type of bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract can influence your behavior and level of anxiety. That is just begging for a science fiction story, if you ask me. Hmmm....
Thanks for the link. It's been clear at least since the 1970s, when I studied physiology, that the gastrointestinal tract secretes a wealth of neurotransmitters, so the article makes a great deal of sense.
