Researchers say using psychological interventions like CBT may help to alleviate anxiety and other symptoms associated with IBS.
Probiotics can support the effects of antidepressants to help relieve symptoms of depression.
Polyphenols can reduce inflammation in older people by altering the intestinal microbiota and inducing the production of indole 3-propionic acid.
Researchers say the gut microbiome may be a viable targetable biomarker to improve immunotherapy responses in those with glioblastoma and a range of other cancers.
A newly invented soft, implantable probe can interface between gut and brain tissue, measuring both dopamine and serotonin levels. The device has applications for depression, Parkinson's disease, and intestinal disorders.
Signs of concussion may be found in the gut, a new study reports. Researchers found a correlation between traumatic brain injury proteins in the blood and one brain injury-linked bacteria in stool samples.
Transplanting fecal microbiota from young mice to older mice reversed hallmark signs of aging in the gut, brains, and eyes. Transplanting the fecal microbiota from old to young mice had the reverse effect, inducing inflammation in the brain and depleting a key protein associated with healthy vision.
Microbes in the gut influence what an animal chooses to eat. Altering the microbiome resulted in changes to preferred diets.
Study sheds light on the role genetics play in shaping the human microbiome.
Hypothalamic neurons directly detect variations in bacterial activity and adapt appetite and body temperature accordingly. The findings demonstrate a direct dialog occurs between the brain and the gut microbiota.
A new study aims to investigate the role the gastrointestinal microbiota may play in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
