NewsAutism-specific metabolic pathways linked to gut microbes
A reanalysis of previous studies has identified autism-specific metabolic pathways associated with particular human gut microbes - these were also seen elsewhere in autistic individuals, from their brain-associated gene expression profiles to their diets.

NewsProbiotic supplementation can help adults with Major Depressive Disorder
A study shows improvements in depression and anxiety scores among individuals supplementing with probiotics alongside standard antidepressant medication.

NewsAltered gut bacteria may be early sign of Alzheimer’s disease
People in the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease - after brain changes have begun but before cognitive symptoms become apparent - harbour an assortment of bacteria in their intestines that differs from the gut bacteria of healthy people.

NewsDesulfovibrio implicated in Parkinson’s disease
Researchers have demonstrated that certain strains of Desulfovibrio bacteria are the likely cause of Parkinson’s disease in most cases.

NewsIntestinal ecosystem directly affects anorexia
Severe changes in the intestinal ecosystem of bacteria and viruses directly affect the development and maintenance of anorexia nervosa

NewsAltered gut microbes may be linked to childhood ADHD susceptibility
New research suggests that the microbial composition of the gut may affect a child’s susceptibility to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

NewsThree intestinal bacteria linked to dementia with Lewy bodies
Researchers have identified three bacteria linked to dementia with Lewy bodies: Collinsella, Ruminococcus, and Bifidobacterium, suggesting new avenues for diagnosis and treatment.

NewsME linked to changes in the gut microbiome and metabolites
Two studies have found that myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is associated with reduced levels in the gastrointestinal microbiome of microbes known to produce the fatty acid butyrate, disruptions that could explain in part how the immune system becomes disrupted in people with ME/CFS.

NewsYouth binge drinkers show alterations in the gut microbiome, new study finds
A study of young people found that alterations in the gut microbiome, microorganisms that live in the human digestive system and affect health, are linked with binge drinking in young people.
-
NewsNew tool unveils communication between gut microbes and the brain
A new laboratory protocol gives researchers a road map to understand the complex traffic system between the gut and the brain and its effects both in health and disease.
-
NewsGut bacteria can impact immune cells that damage brain tissue
A new study suggests that the gut microbiome plays a key role in the health of our brains, according to researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The study, in mice, found that gut bacteria — partly by producing compounds such as short chain fatty acids — ...

NewsNew research unit awarded €6m to investigate gut-brain axis
The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new clinical research unit that will investigate the interaction between the digestive and nervous systems with reference to inflammatory and degenerative diseases, the first collaborative research group in Germany to explore the “gut-brain axis”.

NewsMicrobiota transfer therapy boosts gut health in children with autism
Researchers have discovered that microbial taxa and genes that are important for microbial pathways associated with improvements in the physical and behavioural symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, improved following microbiota transfer therapy.

NewsGut microbiome responds to nanomaterial graphene oxide as if it were a parasite
The nanomaterial graphene oxide—which is used in everything from electronics to sensors for biomolecules—can indirectly affect the immune system via the gut microbiome.
-
NewsGood friendships may make for a healthier gut microbiome
Researchers have found that sociable monkeys have more beneficial gut bacteria and fewer harmful gut bacteria.
-
NewsGut microbes drive brain circuit pruning for social development in zebrafish and mice
Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behavior, new UO research in zebrafish shows
-
NewsGut bacteria can enhance the effects of cocaine in mice
Common gut bacteria can enhance the effects of cocaine in mice, researchers report.

NewsGut could sound early warning alarm for motor neurone disease
The same proteins thought to contribute to motor neurone disease can be found in the gut many years before any brain symptoms occur, a new study by the University of Aberdeen has found.
