Like in the Ratatouille movie?

from when we were children, right?

Like it was very different.

Like, I still remember like some of the very simple, humble meals that my mother would make, but it's just priceless for me, right?

Whenever I go home, it's like, without asking, sometimes my mother will prepare those for me.

And it's like, it just brings you back when you were that age, right?

Yeah, the memory system is tightly linked to taste and smell.

And then how it is that the gut triggers those sensations or further reinforces those sensations.

We haven't even begun to articulate.

And when I say articulate, because we don't even have the language to refer to these things.

That's why at the very beginning we were talking in our conversation about the axis.

You know, and that we don't say like the nose brain axis, right?

Like we just went for what we had at that time.

And I do think that the language will continue to evolve for us to be able to articulate more precisely, more richly, more elegant, more, you know, in so many different ways.

How it is that...

the organs communicate with each other to make us who we are.

And in there, in one of our papers, we quoted these beautiful passages from the book, Memoirs of a Stomach.

It was written in 1853.

By a French person?

By what it says in the first page.
