The gut-brain axis (GBA) consists of bidirectional communication between the central and
the enteric nervous system, linking emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with …

In the past few years, intestinal microbiota has emerged as a novel target for the treatment of
gut–brain axis alterations. These include functional gastrointestinal disorders, such as …

The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by trillions of commensal bacteria collectively
known as the gut microbiota. Our recognition of the significance of the complex interaction …

Animal studies have demonstrated that the early phase of enteric infection is accompanied
by anxiety-like behavior, which is mediated through vagal ascending pathways. Chronic …

The microbial ecosystem that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract of all mammals—the gut
microbiota—has been in a symbiotic relationship with its hosts over many millennia. Thanks …

Background Intestinal homeostasis is a dynamic process that takes place at the interface
between the lumen and the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, where a constant scrutiny for …

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 …

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are highly prevalent and pose a significant
burden on health care and society, and impact patients' quality of life. FGIDs comprise a …

Tremendous progress has been made in characterizing the bidirectional interactions
between the central nervous system, the enteric nervous system, and the gastrointestinal …

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 …
