The gut-brain connection is an evolving field, revealing the profound influence our gut health has on our overall well-being, including mental health. While we're just beginning to scratch the surface, understanding this connection can pave the way for innovative treatments and preventive strategies...
Stomach problems are one of the most common symptoms of stress and anxiety. Researchers have identified a connection between the gut and the brain. Like the brain, your gut is full of nerves called the enteric nervous system, or ENS, also referred to as the “second brain”. The enteric n...
Virtually everything you do and everything that happens to you from the moment you’re born contributes to the creation of your unique gut flora profile. Factors that impact your gut florainclude your age, gender, lifestyle, geographic location, diet, stress, and antibiotic use. And, in turn...
Step into a transformative journey in an 8-part podcast docuseries that explores the deep connection between gut health and brain function.
The gut brain connection derives from our formation as embryos One section turns into the central nervous system (managed by the brain), while the other piece migrates to become the enteric nervous system (managed by the gut second brain). Throughout our lives, the two nervous systems remain...
Neurodegenerative disease: Brain-gut connection in autism?Article series on how diet and lifestyle influence brain function, and the role the brain plays in mediating the effects of diet and lifestyle on general health.doi:10.1038/nrn3806Sian Lewis...
degenerative conditions to autoimmune diseases. The gut-brain axis is now being investigated as a potential target for treatment of these diseases. This collection brings together research published in BioMed Central journals into all aspects of the gut-brain axis and its role in health and disease...
The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. This connection goes both ways. A troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. 具体来说,这种双向影响与“肠-脑轴(gut-brain axis)”密切相关。“肠-脑轴”是由神经内分泌...
In the same way, cognitive health is also dependent on the quality of your diet. This is largely due to what is called the gut-brain connection, that is, the closely connected relationship between the stomach and the brain. The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines (that...
Recent evidence supports a functional connection between gut microbiota and the nervous system. Here the authors show that gut microbiota plays a critical role in the development of chemotherapy-induced pain. This role of the microbiota is likely mediated, in part, by Tlr4 expressed on hematopoietic...
