Abstract

Psychobiotics may efficiently alleviate symptoms of several CNS disorders, including autism spectrum disorders and Parkinson's disease.

Psychobiotics are probiotic strains that can influence the gut-brain axis.
They are associated with positive effects on gut microbiota.
There is documented evidence of their role in improving symptoms of central nervous system disorders.
Psychobiotics may help alleviate symptoms of conditions like insomnia, depression, diabetic neuropathy, and anorexia nervosa.
Functional foods containing psychotropic strains could contribute to better mental health.

Nervous system disorders are one of the common problems that affect many people around the world every year. Regarding the beneficial effects of the probiotics on the gut and the gut-brain axis, their application along with current medications has been the subject of intense interest. Psychobiotics are a probiotic strain capable to affect the gut-brain axis. The effective role of Psychobiotics in several neurological disorders is documented. Consumption of the Psychobiotics containing nutrients has positive effects on the improvement of microbiota as well as alleviation of some symptoms of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. In the present study, the effects of probiotic strains on some CNS disorders in terms of controlling the disease symptoms were reviewed. Finding suggests that Psychobiotics can efficiently alleviate the symptoms of several CNS disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, depression, diabetic neuropathy, and anorexia nervosa. It can be concluded that functional foods containing psychotropic strains can help to improve mental health.
