Description
Jianhua Li and ten co-authors record brain waves in people with functional constipation to test a brain-gut link. The condition troubles many people, and theory blames faulty talk between brain and gut, but direct human proof was thin. Their 2025 study used dense EEG caps on twenty-one patients and thirty-seven healthy controls. Recordings ran at rest, during thinking tasks, and during tasks tied to bowel urges. Patients showed a clear task-dependent pattern.
One wave type ran higher at rest and during bowel tasks, while a faster wave fell in a side region during those tasks. The pattern sets patients apart from controls in a way that shifts with the task. The authors say the work gives hard evidence for brain involvement. It may guide treatments that target the brain side of the axis.
