The Gut-Brain Connection: Understanding Anxiety and the Microbiome

Healthy gut function is crucial for normal central nervous system (CNS) function. Hormones, neurotransmitters, and immunological factors released from the gut send signals to the brain, either directly or via autonomic neurons. Recent studies have shed light on the role of the microbiome in various CNS disorders, including anxiety, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, and autism.
