Gut microbial diversity and neurological diseases / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Gut microbiota can interact with the brain through neuronal, endocrine, immune and metabolic pathways. This interaction is called the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Increasing studies have demonstrated that the structure and diversity of gut microbes can influence host neurological diseases, including depression, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Abnormal gut microbial structures may cause disease, while appropri- A te microbiome prevents and cures disease. This article reviews the correlation between gut microbial diversity and some neurological diseases in order to provide new ideas and methods for the treatment of these diseases.
