Some immune cells make the long journey from the gut to membranes surrounding the brain. Credit: Steve Gschmeissner/SPL/Alamy Immune cells that fight stomach bugs can migrate from the gut to the brain, where they establish a lasting ‘memory’ of previous infection, according to a study in mice. The brain is shielded by protective membranes called
