Where are we on microbiome-based therapies in disorders of gut-brain interaction?
4 Dec 2023by Andreu Prados, Rene van den Wijngaard
NeuroGASTRO 2023, the leading meeting in Europe held by ESNM on the latest developments in neurogastroenterology, digestive motility, and disorders of gut-brain interaction, took place from August 31st to September 2nd, 2023. Find out more about the main takeaways from the role of fecal microbiota transplants, microbial consortia and probiotics in disorders of gut-brain interaction picked up by GMFH editors (Part 2).
The human microbiome has captured the interest of both scientists and the lay public. A survey of 6,500 people worldwide shows a lack of understanding of the role of the microbiome on health and an essential role of healthcare professionals in promoting advice to balance the microbiome.
A new mechanism identifies a gut-brain axis in cerebral cavernous malformation

Probiotics constitute a promising strategy for altering intestinal motility. New mice research reveals that the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG releases formylated peptides that modulate enteric neurons and accelerate gastrointestinal motility.
A new mice study finds gut microbes affect neurons involved in overcoming fear responses
14 Nov 2019by GMFH Editing Team
How the gut microbial communities affect brain function and behavior remains to be seen. A new mechanistic study in Nature unravels mechanisms by which gut microbiota affects mice adaptation to fear conditioning.
Here are our editors’ picks of some of the year’s most relevant developments in gut microbiome science, including topics that range from obesity and metabolic health to the gut-brain axis.
Scientists are investigating how ENS nerve cells communicate with brain neurons through the ‘gut-brain axis’.
A recent review, published in Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment, covered what we know so far about the gut-brain axis, and especially the role of the hundreds of trillions of microorganisms in the digestive tract.
