When neutrinos travel through a normal matter medium, the electron neutrinos couple differently to gravity compared to the other neutrinos, due to the presence of electrons in the medium and the absence of the other charged leptons. The matter-induced gravitational couplings of the neutrinos under such conditions are calculated and their contribution to the neutrino index of refraction in the presence of a gravitational potential is determined.
