Psychological comorbidity in gastrointestinal diseases: Update on the brain-gut-microbiome axis
Mental health issues in digestive diseases linked to the brain-gut-microbiome connection
AI simplified
Abstract
Dysregulation of the brain-gut-microbiome axis is implicated in both gastrointestinal diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders.
- The brain-gut axis involves communication between the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system through various pathways.
- Alterations in the gut microbiome may contribute to disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, depression, Alzheimer's disease, and autism spectrum disorder.
- Changes in the gut microbiome are associated with the development of organic gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease.
- Prebiotics, probiotics, or postbiotics could offer new treatment options by modifying the gut microbiome or mimicking gut microbial signals.
- Despite advances in understanding the brain-gut-microbiome axis, clinical data to support these findings is currently lacking.
