Abstract
The past decade has seen an explosion in our knowledge about the interactions between gut microbiota, the central nervous system, and the immune system. The gut–brain axis has recently gained much attention due to its role in regulating host physiology. This review explores recent findings concerning potential pathways linking the gut–brain axis to the initiation, pathophysiology, and development of neurological disorders. Our objective of this work is to uncover causative factors and pinpoint particular pathways and therapeutic targets that may facilitate the translation of experimental animal research into practical applications for human patients. We highlight three distinct yet interrelated mechanisms: (1) disruptions of both the intestinal and blood–brain barriers, (2) persistent neuroinflammation, and (3) the role of the vagus nerve.
期刊介绍:
ACS Chemical Neuroscience publishes high-quality research articles and reviews that showcase chemical, quantitative biological, biophysical and bioengineering approaches to the understanding of the nervous system and to the development of new treatments for neurological disorders. Research in the journal focuses on aspects of chemical neurobiology and bio-neurochemistry such as the following:
Neurotransmitters and receptors
Neuropharmaceuticals and therapeutics
Neural development—Plasticity, and degeneration
Chemical, physical, and computational methods in neuroscience
Neuronal diseases—basis, detection, and treatment
Mechanism of aging, learning, memory and behavior
Pain and sensory processing
Neurotoxins
Neuroscience-inspired bioengineering
Development of methods in chemical neurobiology
Neuroimaging agents and technologies
Animal models for central nervous system diseases
Behavioral research
