Although a range of factors are usually considered, the exact cause of these anomalies is unknown. Recent research carried out by scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and published in the journal Cell seems to shed some light on the origin of the condition, which, it appears may be linked to changes in the gut microbiota.

The 4th Gut Microbiota for Health Wold Summit was held in Barcelona, March 14th & 15th, 2015. We had the opportunity to interview Prof. Julián PANÉS, President-elect of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO), one of the new partners of the ESNM's Gut Microbiota & Health Section in the organization of the Gut Summit.

The world’s leading experts in the area of research on gut microbiota met in Barcelona on 14th and 15th March to present the latest discoveries and discuss its importance for health and diet. The summit’s virtual press office has a range of material available for learning more about this exciting subject.

The Gut Microbiota & Health section of the European Society of Neurogastroenterology & Motility (ESNM) is now operating in partnership with three new organizations: the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO), and the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN). 

For the study’s principal researcher, Professor Sven Pettersson of the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology at Karolinska Institutet, “Given that the microbiota’s composition and diversity change over time, it is tempting to speculate that the blood brain-barrier’s integrity may also fluctuate depending on the microbiota.”
