Interactions between the microbiota, immune and nervous systems in health and disease
The diverse collection of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, collectively called the gut microbiota, profoundly influences many aspects of host physiology, including nutrient metabolism, resistance to infection and immune system development. Studies investigating the gut–brain axis demonstrate a critical role for the gut microbiota in orchestrating brain development and behavior, and the immune system is emerging as an impor…
Scientists are discovering that the part of the human genome that was long written off as “junk” actually contains a complex control system that connects the immune system and the nervous system in unexpected ways. This understanding could lead to a revolution in treatments for brain diseases and even addiction, but at the same time raises big ethical questions that may have a greater impact on humanity than artificial intelligence. This was rev…
Oral-Gut Bacteria Linked to Dementia Risk in Parkinson’s Disease
A new study has found that bacteria from the mouth may migrate to the gut and contribute to cognitive decline in people with Parkinson’s disease. Researchers identified harmful microbes and their toxins in the gut of Parkinson’s patients with dementia, suggesting a possible link between oral hygiene, gut health, and neurodegeneration.
