THE HIDDEN ROLE OF GUT FUNGI IN NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

How does the brain interact with the gut microbiome? The microbiome, together with the metabolites it generates, educates and trains the immune system in ways that affect the entire body. We are in effect a 'holobiont' - an ecosystem hosting the microbial inhabitants that we have co- evolved with. We have evolved to respond to cues from these microbes, and they have evolved to respond to cues from us. Some cues from the microbiome support the healthy functioning of the central nervous system. When signals from the gut microbiome are disrupted, this can interfere with the integrity of various components of the central nervous system, potentially triggering harmful neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
