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.
Drugs and Bugs: The Gut-Brain Axis and Substance Use Disorders.
Substance use disorders (SUDs) represent a significant public health crisis. Worldwide, 5.4% of the global disease burden is attributed to SUDs and alcohol use, and many more use psychoactive substances recreationally. Often...
The Gut Microbiome and Substance Use Disorder.
Substance use disorders (SUDs) remain a significant public health challenge, affecting tens of millions of individuals worldwide each year. Often comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, SUD can be poly-drug and involve several...
Brain-gut-microbiome interactions in obesity and food addiction.
Normal eating behavior is coordinated by the tightly regulated balance between intestinal and extra-intestinal homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms. By contrast, food addiction represents a complex, maladaptive eating behavior that reflects alterations in brain–gut–microbiome (BGM) interactions...
Sleep, circadian rhythm, and gut microbiota.
From asthma and heart disease to diabetes and obesity, the human microbiome plays a role in the pathogenesis of each chronic health condition plaguing today's society. Recent work has shown that the...
Microbiota and sleep: awakening the gut feeling.
Various lifestyle and environmental factors are known to influence sleep. Increasingly, evidence points to a role for the microbiota in regulating brain and behavior. This article explores how the microbiota-gut-brain axis affects...
The gut microbiota-bile acid axis links the positive association between chronic insomnia and cardiometabolic diseases.
Evidence from human cohorts indicates that chronic insomnia is associated with higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), yet whether gut microbiota plays a role is unclear. Here, in a longitudinal cohort (...
Gut microbiome diversity is associated with sleep physiology in humans.
The human gut microbiome can influence health through the brain-gut-microbiome axis. Growing Evidence suggests that the gut microbiome can influence sleep quality. Previous studies that have examined sleep deprivation and the human...
Links between gut microbes and depression strengthened.
Just ten years ago, the idea that microorganisms in the human gut could influence the brain was often dismissed as wild. Not any more ... Links between the central nervous...
