This 2019 study highlights the importance of the relationships between probiotics, psychobiotics and cognitive and behavioral processes. Altering these systems may have a big impact on behavior (mood) and cognition (learning and memory). Psychobiotics have been suggested to have crucial roles in affective disorders and the immune system and may also affect neuroimmune regulation in […]
