The role of gastrointestinal dysbiosis and fecal transplantation: This review by Castro-Vidal et al. (2024) underscores the crucial role of the human microbiome in the pathology of neurological and neurodegenerative illnesses, with a particular emphasis on dysbiosis (i.e., imbalance in gut bacteria) that results in gut-brain axis malfunction.
