New research horizons on the gut-brain axis Hill-Yardin, an ARC Future Fellow and Vice-Chancellor's Senior Research Fellow in the School of Health and Biomedical Sciences at RMIT, said the work identifies a new a target for the development of therapies specifically designed to work on neurotra...
We all experienced "stress stomach pain" at least once in our life, but the connection between our gut and brain goes much further and is truly fascinating. Recent neurobiologicalresearchon gut-brain crosstalk has revealed that this communication not only ensures the proper functioning of digestion ...
Using that system, the researchers were able to model the influence that microbes living in the gut have on both healthy brain tissue and tissue samples derived from patients with Parkinson’s disease. They found that short-chain fatty acids, which are produced by microbes in the gut and are ...
(e.g., socioeconomic status, geographical location) in influencing the microbiome, explored changes in the microbiome that might occur across typical development, provided an overview of the polyvagal theory of the autonomic connection between the brain and gut, and analyzed the literature on ...
Maternal gut and fetal brain connection: Increased anxiety and reduced social interactions in Wistar rat offspring following peri-conceptional antibiotic exposure. Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry 71, 76-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pnpbp.2016.06.010....
Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections inbrain circuitsthat control social behavior, new UO research in zebrafish shows. The pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior. The researchers also found that these 'social' neurons are similar in zebra...
Neurological/brain based disorders such as depression or autism may very well have their true root origins in the gut. Science now knows that there are more neuronal cells in the GI tract than in the human brain, making the gut a kind of "second brain." These second brain neurons are ...
The English language is filled with terms that reflect the gut-brain connection — gut-wrenching, gut instinct, gut feeling, and butterflies in the stomach. But it’s not just the intestines that have a two-way communication channel with the brain. ...
Right here, because when I think that chemicals go from my brain to my intestinal tract that causes it to cramp. So there’s a tremendous connection here. So it not only can worsen symptoms but we can also use that connection to improve symptoms. There’s great research showing that ...
However, limited research into the connection between gut-microbiota and mental health makes this study an important endeavor in exploring the effect of gut-microbiota, through probiotics intervention, on mental health like anxiety and factors related to anxiety (e.g., anxiety control, affect, ...
