Emerging evidence indicates that disruption of the gut microbial community (dysbiosis)
impairs mental health. Germ-free mice and antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis are two�…

Gut microbiota composition and function are major areas of research for functional
gastrointestinal disorders. There is a connection between gastrointestinal tract and central�…

There is a growing recognition of the importance of the commensal intestinal microbiota in
the development and later function of the central nervous system. Research using germ-free�…

The gut microbiota is an essential regulator of many aspects of host physiology. Disruption
of gut microbial communities affects gut-brain communication which ultimately can manifest�…

Recent studies have demonstrated a clear association between changes in the microbiota
and cognitive behavior. Intestinal dysbiosis, as modeled using GF mice (containing no�…

Gut microbiota depletion may result in cognitive impairment and emotional disorder. This
study aimed to determine the possible association between host gut microbiota, cognitive�…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Alterations in the microbial composition of the gastrointestinal tract
(dysbiosis) are believed to contribute to inflammatory and functional bowel disorders and�…

Background: There is growing appreciation for the importance of bacteria in shaping brain
development and behaviour. Adolescence and early adulthood are crucial developmental�…

Gut microbiota colonization is a key event for host physiology that occurs early in life.
Disruption of this process leads to altered brain development which ultimately manifests as�…

The ability of gut microbiota to communicate with the brain and thus modulate behavior is
emerging as an exciting concept in health and disease. The enteric microbiota interacts with�…
