The Role of Short-Chain Fatty Acids From Gut Microbiota in Gut-Brain Communication

TL;DR: How the development of future treatments for central nervous system (CNS) disorders can take advantage of the intimate and mutual interactions of the gut microbiota with the brain by exploring the role of SCFAs in the regulation of neuro-immunoendocrine function is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotics, gut microbiota, and Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: The role of antibiotics in relation to the gut microbiota and AD is analyzed to suggest the possibility of therapeutic manipulation of the microbiome in AD and other neurological disorders using antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Possible Role of the Microbiota-Gut-Brain-Axis in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

TL;DR: This paper suggests that ASD is associated with an unbalanced gut microbiota (dysbiosis), and the consumption of specific probiotics may represent a side-effect free tool to re-establish gut homeostasis and promote gut health.

Precision Nutrition and the Microbiome, Part I: Current State of the Science.

TL;DR: The role of diet in shaping the microbiome and the influence of specific dietary components, namely protein, fat and carbohydrates, on gut microbiota composition are looked at.

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.

Ingestion of Lactobacillus strain regulates emotional behavior and central GABA receptor expression in a mouse via the vagus nerve.

TL;DR: Chronic treatment with L. rhamnosus induced region-dependent alterations in GABAB1b mRNA in the brain with increases in cortical regions and concomitant reductions in expression in the hippocampus, amygdala, and locus coeruleus, in comparison with control-fed mice, highlighting the important role of bacteria in the bidirectional communication of the gut–brain axis.

Microbiota Modulate Behavioral and Physiological Abnormalities Associated with Neurodevelopmental Disorders

TL;DR: A gut-microbiome-brain connection in a mouse model of ASD is supported and a potential probiotic therapy for GI and particular behavioral symptoms in human neurodevelopmental disorders is identified.
