Prebiotics have been widely researched in the context of gastrointestinal conditions and might hold potential to influence cognition outcomes by modulating the microbiota-gut-brain axis. A new randomised controlled trial in individuals aged over 60s showed that a prebiotic blend (inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides) is well tolerated and may improve cognition compared with a placebo.

While the gut microbiome differs between patients with IBS and healthy controls, the precise mechanisms underlying the initial phase of microbial-host interactions are not fully understood. New findings in mice identify a critical role of intestinal dendritic cells’ activation and migration in impacting brain neuroplasticity. The post New findings in mice reveal a key role of intestinal dendritic cells in normalizing behavior after initial microbial colonization appeared first on Gut Microb...| Gut Microbiota for Health
Emerging studies support the relationship between the human gut microbiome and organ function outside the gut.
