How Gut Bacteria and Brain Communication Relate to Childhood ADHD: Causes and Possible Treatments
Updated
Abstract
Growing evidence links gut microbiota dysbiosis to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.
- Gut dysbiosis may be associated with the development of ADHD in children.
- The microbiota-gut-brain axis is proposed as a key regulatory pathway for communication between the gut and the brain.
- Multiple pathways have been identified through which the gut microbiota could influence ADHD symptoms.
- Recent findings suggest that strategies targeting the microbiota may potentially improve ADHD symptoms.
- Exploring gut microbiota interventions could open new avenues for early ADHD treatment.
