Abstract

Significant genetic and metabolic capabilities of gut microbiota influence every aspect of biological anthropology.

  • The microbiota-gut-brain axis may regulate glial functioning, presenting a target for neurodegenerative disease treatments.
  • The gut-brain axis facilitates communication between the gastrointestinal and central nervous systems, affecting processes like hunger and metabolism.
  • Diverse microbiota may impact brain health through various pathways, including immunological, neurological, and metabolic routes.
  • Neurotransmitters and gut hormones are associated with gut microbiota's influence on brain function.
  • The study reviews potential therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases, including prebiotics, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation.
