The tantalizing links between gut microbes and the brain- Prof Cryan's Research Profiled in Nature

鈥淚f you look at the hard neuroscience that has emerged in the last year alone, all the fundamental processes that neuroscientists spend their lives working on are now all shown to be regulated by microbes,鈥�

'John Cryan's lab has demonstrated that germ-free mice grow more neurons in a specific brain region as adults than do conventional mice. He has been promoting the gut鈥揵rain axis to neuroscientists, psychiatric-drug researchers and the public. 鈥淚f you look at the hard neuroscience that has emerged in the last year alone, all the fundamental processes that neuroscientists spend their lives working on are now all shown to be regulated by microbes,鈥� he says, pointing to research on the regulation of the blood鈥揵rain barrier, neurogenesis in mice and the activation of microglia, the immune-like cells that reside in the brain and spinal cord.'
