Gut microbiota as a key participant in neuro-immune interactions

Keywords: gut microbiota/microbiome, neuro-immune interactions, microbiota-gut-brain axis, cytokines, probiotics, psychobiotics, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract

The article discusses the role of the intestinal microbiota in functioning of the immune and nervous systems, the effect of the commensal microbiota on stress reactivity and behavior, draws an analogy between the pathways of information transmission to the brain from the microbiota and the pathways of neuro-immune interactions. The presented data suggest that the intestinal microbial community functions as a coordinator of communications between the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems for the development and maintenance of host homeostasis.
