     Evaluation Summary:

     In this paper the authors study the Rolle of small chain fatty acids receptors FFA2 and FFA3 in the dorsal root ganglia with the goal to define molecularly a gut to brain axis. They identified MOMBA as a compound that binds to FFA2. This paper presents a powerful screening strategy to identify receptor agonists. The main concerns are the specificity of the model, and the functional purpose of this gut to brain axis.

      Evaluation Summary:

      This manuscript will be of interest to insect neuroscientists and broadly to the neuroanatomy community. It presents a new web resource that collects and displays neuron, brain region and species data in user-friendly ways. If taken up by the community, it has the potential to become an important data hub.
