     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.
