Abstract
Over one billion individuals globally are affected by neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.
- Alterations in the gut microbiota, known as gut microbiota dysbiosis, are associated with the development of various neuropsychiatric disorders.
- The microbiota-gut-brain axis serves as a communication link between the gut and the brain, potentially influencing neuropsychiatric conditions.
- Scientific evidence indicates that specific changes in gut microbiota composition may play a role in the onset and progression of neuropsychiatric disorders.
- Interventions aimed at modifying gut microbiota, such as probiotics and dietary changes, could be explored as potential treatments for these disorders.
- The review discusses both animal and human studies that highlight the significance of gut microbiota in neuropsychiatric health.
