Abstract

Alterations in gut microbiota composition may be associated with the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders.

  • Bidirectional interactions occur among the gastrointestinal tract, enteric nervous system, and central nervous system.
  • Gut microbiota plays an important role in gut-brain interactions.
  • Recent preclinical and clinical trials indicate gut microbiota's impact on neurological health.
  • Neurological disorders such as stress, autism, depression, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease may be linked to changes in gut microbiota.
  • Probiotic modulation could influence neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders through the gut-brain axis.
