Probiotics, living bacteria with health benefits, are emerging as a potential tool to influence the microbiota-gut-brain axis and improve mental well-being. [29] This axis is a complex communication network linking the gut and the brain, primarily mediated by the vagus nerve and the production of neuromodulators, which influence nerve activity ...
This study highlights the gut microbiome's role in brain function and mental health is a growing research area, particularly during adolescence, a critical period for gut-brain axis development. This study systematically reviewed and analyzed the effects of psychobiotic interventions on anxiety in youth (ages 10–24).
Research shows that the gut microbiota and mental health—including depression and anxiety—may impact sleep. For those with mood disorders, there’s potential for probiotics to help reduce ...
The gut, sometimes referred to as the "second brain", may use the same type of neural network as the CNS, suggesting why it could have a role in brain function and mental health. [5] The bidirectional communication is done by immune, endocrine, humoral and neural connections between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. [4]
Changes in gut microbiota tied to memory improvements. At the start of the 20-week study, the rats were 10 weeks old. Studies show that laboratory rats become sexually mature at 6 weeks, and in ...
Gut health and depression have long thought to have been linked, but a recent study shows just how much our gut health and diets play a role in our mental health.
