The central nervous system (CNS) is dynamically regulated by the entire body’s physiological and pathological conditions. Recent studies reveal that these conditions often change and involve changes introduced into the gut microbiota, which directly modulate the CNS. This bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and CNS, also known as the gut-brain axis, plays a major role in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Huntington's disease (HD).
During this lesson, the students will learn the bases of this axis and the microbiota-mediated mechanisms that modulate the brain's functioning. Recent articles exploring microbiota intervention in disease models and humans will be used as examples. Finally, we will discuss how studying microbiota may help develop interventions and clinical treatments for these diseases.
