Crucially, this signaling is bidirectional: central neuroendocrine outputs (e.g., via autonomic nerves and the HPA axis) reciprocally modulate gut physiologyaltering intestinal transit time, mucus secretion, and nutrient availabilitythereby reshaping the microbial metabolic environment and SCFA production capacity
