Abstract
The gut-brain axis is an essential communication pathway between the central nervous system (CNS) and the gastrointestinal tract. The human microbiota is composed of a diverse and abundant microbial community that compasses more than 100 trillion microorganisms that participate in relevant physiological functions such as host nutrient metabolism, structural integrity, maintenance of the gut mucosal barrier, and immunomodulation. Recent evidence in animal models has been instrumental in demonstrating the possible role of the microbiota in neurodevelopment, neuroinflammation, and behavior. Furthermore, clinical studies suggested that adverse changes in the microbiota can be considered a susceptibility factor for neurological disorders (NDs), such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this review, we will discuss evidence describing the role of gut microbes in health and disease as a relevant risk factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including AD, PD, HD, and ALS.
期刊介绍:
Neurotoxicity Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based journal for reporting both basic and clinical research on classical neurotoxicity effects and mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration, necrosis, neuronal apoptosis, nerve regeneration, neurotrophin mechanisms, and topics related to these themes.
Published papers have focused on:
NEURODEGENERATION and INJURY
Neuropathologies
Neuronal apoptosis
Neuronal necrosis
Neural death processes (anatomical, histochemical, neurochemical)
Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neural Effects of Substances of Abuse
NERVE REGENERATION and RESPONSES TO INJURY
Neural Adaptations
Neurotrophin mechanisms and actions
NEURO(CYTO)TOXICITY PROCESSES and NEUROPROTECTION
Excitatory amino acids
Neurotoxins, endogenous and synthetic
Reactive oxygen (nitrogen) species
Neuroprotection by endogenous and exogenous agents
Papers on related themes are welcome.
