The GBA-microbiota crosstalk is a bidirectional communication system between the gut, microbiota, and brain. This communication occurs physically or biochemically and interlinks the gut with the cognitive and emotional centers of the brain, thus ensuring adequate mental health and intestinal homeostasis (Mayer, Tillisch, & Gupta, 2015).
