Links Between Gut Bacteria, Immune System Types, and Insomnia Using Genetic Analysis

Updated

Abstract

Genetic evidence is needed to support the hypothesis that gut microbes influence insomnia through immune pathways.

  • The microbiota-gut-brain axis may provide insights into the mechanisms underlying insomnia.
  • Specific gut microbial taxa could be linked to immune responses that are associated with insomnia.
  • Large-scale genetic data are being explored to investigate the causal relationships between gut microbiota, immune traits, and insomnia.
