The New Frontier of Medicine: The Brain and the Gut

Abstract

The gut microbiome must maintain homeostasis as it protects us from harmful pathogens and helps our brain work through the gut-brain axis. According to new studies, the microbes found in our gut can modify how we think and feel as well as how we grow. Problems with gut microbes may be followed by problems with the brain or the mind. For example, the person may feel depressed or anxious. Or they may have issues with autism. This article will discuss how the gut and brain talk with the microbiome and major channels, including metabolites, vagus nerve, immune system, and more. The potential treatments include prebiotics, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation. A significant gut bacterium is likely crucial for maintaining neurological health, conclude researchers. It encompasses future pathways for using gut microbes effectively for a preferable purpose. Microbes in the gut influence the brain’s growth and its activities.
