Psycobiotics Flashcards
Brain modulates GI tract through
Motility, secretion, absorption, blood flow
GI tract stimulates the brain through
Stimulation of IR or small molecules
Components of gut-brain axis
CNS + ANS + ENS + IS + GI tract + Neuroendocrine system
GI symptoms is comorbidity + Gut dysbiosis (metagenomic sequencing)
Neurological Diseases
New axis definition
Microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis
Gut microbes Mechanism
Peripheral serotonin secretion by epi cells + Immune cells to produce cytokines or develop immune cells in brain + Metabolites such as butyrate
Metabolites to the brain can
Alter cells in BBB or develop intestinal and brain cells
Psychiatric conditions linked to gut alterations
AI disease (MS) + Neurodegenerative disorders (Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) + Injury (spinal cord) + Neuropsychiatric (depression and anxiety)
Disorders and gut dysbiosis stage
Correlation (no proof bacteria play role)
Microbiota —> CNS
Microbial derived molecules, neuroactive molecules, Neuronal signalling
Microbial Derived Molecules for the CNS
SCFAs. Tryptophan metabolites, MAMPs
Neuroactive Molecules for CNS
Neurotransmitters biosynthesis and regulation of signalling
Neuronal Signalling of CNS
Vagal nerve stimulation
SCFAs and CNS
Microglial maturation and function
Tryptophan metabolites
Keratonin and serotonin stimulate AHR to modulate immune stimulating genes
MAMPs CNS responds to
LPS and PGN
Microbiota —> Immune System
MDM + immune pathways
