Recent years have witnessed the rise of the gut microbiota as a major topic of research
interest in biology. Studies are revealing how variations and changes in the composition of …

The role of the gastrointestinal microbiota in human brain development and function is an
area of increasing interest and research. Preclinical models suggest a role for the microbiota …

The realization that the microbiota–gut–brain axis plays a critical role in health and disease
has emerged over the past decade. The brain–gut axis is a bidirectional communication …

The accumulating evidence linking bacteria in the gut and neurons in the brain (the
microbiota–gut–brain axis) has led to a paradigm shift in the neurosciences. Understanding …

Within the first few days of life, humans are colonized by commensal intestinal microbiota.
Here, we review recent findings showing that microbiota are important in normal healthy …

There is increasing evidence that host-microbe interactions play a key role in maintaining
homeostasis. Alterations in gut microbial composition is associated with marked changes in …

It is increasingly evident that bidirectional interactions exist among the gastrointestinal tract,
the enteric nervous system, and the central nervous system. Recent preclinical and clinical …

The ability of gut microbiota to communicate with the brain and thus modulate behavior is
emerging as an exciting concept in health and disease. The enteric microbiota interacts with …

Emerging evidence indicates that the intestinal microbiota influence brain chemistry,
development and behaviour in animals. Tillisch and colleagues now show that ingestion of …

The last decade has witnessed a growing appreciation of the fundamental role played by an
early assembly of a diverse and balanced gut microbiota and its subsequent maintenance …
