The role of the microbiota–gut–brain axis in long‐term neurodegenerative processes following traumatic brain injury
How the gut bacteria-brain connection may relate to long-term brain decline after head injury
AI simplified
Abstract
The incidence and severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been associated with an increased susceptibility to developing neurodegenerative disorders.
- Survivors of TBI often report gastrointestinal complaints.
- Animal studies have demonstrated gastrointestinal dysfunction and imbalances in gut bacteria following injury.
- Autonomic dysregulation and chronic inflammation may drive gastrointestinal issues after TBI.
- The could play a role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases following TBI.
