The phenomenon of the gut–memory connection is based on and part of the idea of the gut-brain axis, a complex communication network, linking the central nervous system to the gut. The gut-brain axis first gained significant momentum in research and formal recognition in the 20th century with advancements in neuroscience and gastroenterology ...
The gut–brain axis is the two-way biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and the central nervous system (CNS). [2] The term "microbiota–gut–brain axis" highlights the role of gut microbiota in these biochemical signaling.
Studies have linked gut dysbiosis with cognitive impairment because of its effect on the gut-brain axis. However, findings from a new study should help reassure those who need to take antibiotics ...
The enteric glia, enteric glial cells or EGCs are a population of neuroglial cells that populate the enteric nervous system. [1]These cells are one of the major neural-crest-derived cell lineages, found throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
One of the most significant contributions of the experiment was its role in establishing the concept of the gut-brain axis. It was one of the first studies to provide evidence for what would later be recognized as a complex communication system between the digestive system and the central nervous system in regulating hunger.

This unique fiber helps support your gut and nervous system’s health via a pathway known as the gut-brain axis. Fiber has other brain-friendly benefits, too. “Dietary fiber is not only ...
Fluids: Caffeine drinkers and smokers have a decreased risk of PD, by 60% and 30%, respectively, potentially through the modulation of the gut-brain axis. [18] The consumption of caffeine or smoking alters the microbiota composition, which may lower intestinal inflammation and decrease alpha-synuclein aggregation. [18]
The key cellular components of the neuroimmune system are glial cells, including astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes. [1] [2] [5] Unlike other hematopoietic cells of the peripheral immune system, mast cells naturally occur in the brain where they mediate interactions between gut microbes, the immune system, and the central nervous system as part of the microbiota–gut–brain axis.
