THE VAGUS NERVE

🐿️

Chipmunk IS the vagus nerve.
The longest cranial nerve. Runs from brainstem to gut. Bidirectional.

GUT → BRAIN: Bacteria produce neurotransmitters (serotonin, GABA, dopamine).
Nutrients signal satiation. Inflammation signals danger. 90% of signals go UP.

BRAIN → GUT: Stress changes gut motility. Emotion changes gut flora composition.
Attention allocates digestive resources. 10% of signals go DOWN.

IN GAIA: Chipmunk carries membrane observations (gut→brain) and
agent instructions (brain→gut). Without the vagus nerve, the organism is split.
