"Scientists have discovered that hypothalamic neurons in an animal model directly detect variations in bacterial activity and adapt appetite and body temperature accordingly."

Those of you interested in the gut/brain aspect of ME might find this interesting. Some PWME complain about abnormal temperature (body or sensing), and it seems that this gut/hypothalamus link might be involved.
