The role of gut microbes in autism

To examine the link between autism and gut microbes, researchers led by Anne Konkle at the University of Ottawa analyzed the recent scientific literature.

Specific disease-modifying gut bacteria characterize Parkinson’s disease across countries

A japanese team identified bacterial populations that may determine intestinal pathology and influence the development of Parkinson's disease.

Gut microbes could improve symptoms of neurodegenerative disorder

In mice with a genetic mutation linked to ALS, altering the gut microbiota could prevent or improve disease symptoms, a study published in Nature has found.

Newly identified microbiota-derived molecules could inhibit brain function

Researchers have identified new bacterial molecules that are able to travel to the brain and inhibit brain cell function.

The microbiota clock: how gut microbes and circadian rhythms influence health

Researchers at UCC Ireland reviewed current knowledge on the microbiota-gut-brain relationship. Their work is published in Cell Metabolism.

Gut microbe could protect against Parkinson’s, study in worms shows

A new study published in Cell Reports suggests that a common gut microbe could slow—and even reverse—the build-up of a protein associated with Parkinson's.

How gut microbes influence social behavior

A study reviewed the evidences that link the microbiota with social behaviors, analyzing how the microbiota-gut-brain axis influences sociability.

Gut microbes could help mice to forget fear

A study published in Nature suggests that the gut microbiota could help understand conditions such as chronic anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Gut microbes could influence sleep quality

Our gut microbiota might affect how well and for how long we sleep, according to a new study. The findings may lead to new ways to improve sleep.

How gut microbes influence daily rhythms

A study published in Science shows that the gut microbiota influences daily rhythms through a mechanism by which gut microbes control host metabolism.
