Microbial metabolites tune amygdala neuronal hyperexcitability and anxiety-linked behaviors

Alterations in gut microbiota composition have been associated with anxiety behaviors in rodents, but the neural mechanisms connecting microbiota and their metabolites to anxiety are not yet understood. The immediate early c-Fos gene expression in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) significantly increased in male C57BL/6J germ-free (GF) mice in this study by Yu et al. (2025), […]

The gut-brain axis in the neuropsychological disease model of obesity: A classical movie revised by the emerging director “microbiome”

(2019) writes about the multifactorial disorder that is obesity, in which various elements (including genetic, host, and environment) play a definite role, although the etiology has not been fully understood yet. It is hypothesized that the brain could be the seat of the initial malfunction leading to obesity, since neurological comorbidities such […]
