The role of the brain-gut-microbiota axis in psychology: The importance of considering gut microbiota in the development, perpetuation, and treatment of psychological disorders

Since the prevalence of psychological disorders are not decreasing despite the rise in pharmacological treatments, Ganci et al. (2019) aimed to enhance their understanding of the precise role of gut microbiota (GM) in psychological illness (since it represents an attractive target for novel interventions) by closely examining the relevant literature. This paper found that gut […]

Exposure to a social stressor alters the structure of the intestinal microbiota: Implications for stressor-induced immunomodulation

Bailey et al. (2011) acknowledges that there are studies already that have demonstrated the influential role of stressor exposures in the stability of microbiota and that they predispose bacterial translocation, but the biological importance of this was not well understood. This animal-model study on mice aimed to determine whether the microbiome contributes to stressor-induced immunoenhancement, […]
