Microbiome: Studies and publications
We put together an overview of the most important studies and current publications on the topic of the microbiome in the context of our health.
A psychology of the human brain-gut-microbiome axis.
In recent years, we have seen increasing research within neuroscience and biopsychology on the interactions between the brain, the gastrointestinal tract, the bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract, and the bidirectional relationship between...
A randomized controlled trial to test the effect of multispecies probiotics on cognitive reactivity to sad mood.
Background: Recent insights into the role of the human microbiota in cognitive and affective functioning have led to the hypothesis that probiotic supplementation may act as an adjuvant strategy to...
The role of microbiota and inflammation in self-judgment and empathy: implications for understanding the brain-gut-microbiome axis in depression.
The gut-brain axis includes bidirectional communication between intestinal microbiota and the central nervous system. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus spp. have been implicated in psychological health, such as depression, through various pathways...
Microbiome Mediates Development of PTSD and Resilience.
Identification of youth at risk for post-traumatic pathology is critical for public health, medicine, and social policy but research has not yet succeeded in pinpointing biomarkers that can Distinguish the post-traumatic from...
The Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis and Resilience to Developing Anxiety or Depression under Stress.
Episodes of depression and anxiety commonly follow the experience of stress, however not everyone who experiences stress develops a mood disorder. Individuals who are able to experience stress without a negative emotional effect...
Gut microbiome composition and diversity are related to human personality traits.
The gut microbiome has a measurable impact on the brain, influencing stress, anxiety, depression symptoms and social behavior. This microbiome–gut–brain axis may be mediated by various mechanisms including neural, immune and endocrine...
Feed your microbes to deal with stress: a psychobiotic diet impacts microbial stability and perceived stress in a healthy adult population.
The impact of diet on the microbiota composition and the role of diet in supporting optimal mental health has received much attention in the last decade. However, whether whole dietary approaches can...
The microbiota–gut–brain axis in gastrointestinal disorders: stressed bugs, stressed brain or both?
The gut–brain axis is the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain, which occurs through multiple pathways that include hormonal, neural and immune mediators. The signals along this axis can originate...
