AI simplified

Abstract

Gut microbiota is associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Changes in gut microbiota have been observed in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
  • Research suggests that gut microbiota may play a role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Therapeutic approaches targeting gut microbial abnormalities include antibiotics, diet, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation.
  • Some clinical trials are ongoing to explore interventions involving gut microbes for neurodegenerative diseases.
