Rapid gastric balloon distension to discomfort threshold activates the “pain neuromatrix” and deactivates exteroceptive sensory and “default mode network” regions. However, little is known about brain mechanisms underlying tolerance of meal-induced gastric distension. We aimed to directly compare brain responses to gradual balloon distension and intragastric nutrient infusion and to explore the role of differential gut peptide release in these responses.Materials and methodsBrain responses to balloon- and nutrient-induced distension (to individually titrated pain or maximal satiation threshold) were measured in 15 healthy volunteers using H215O-PET on 2 separate days in counterbalanced order. The effects of increasing gastric distension and plasma levels of ghrelin and peptide YY3-36 (PYY3-36) on neural activity were assessed.ResultsBalloon distension progressively activated pain-responsive regions and deactivated exteroceptive sensory and “default mode network” areas. During nutrient infusion, “pain neuromatrix” regions and the orbitofrontal cortex were progressively deactivated, while the midbrain was activated. Plasma levels of PYY3-36 and ghrelin increased and decreased, respectively, during nutrient infusion only; decreasing ghrelin levels correlated with increasing midbrain activity.ConclusionDifferent brain responses to gastric balloon distension and intragastric nutrient infusion are associated with nutrient-induced gut-brain signals, particularly to the midbrain, where these signals may interfere with both descending pain modulatory and mesolimbic reward processes. Deactivation of the “pain neuromatrix” during nutrient infusion may constitute the neurophysiological mechanism underlying the tolerance of normal meal volumes in health without induction of (painful) symptoms. Nutrient-induced deactivation of the orbitofrontal cortex may represent a key interoceptive meal termination signal.
