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.
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...
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...
