MoodBugs investigates how gut microbes affect emotions, focusing on their role in stress sensitivity and fear learning. The project explores the mechanisms of gut-brain communication, particularly through short-chain fatty acids and inflammation, aiming to identify new approaches for addressing emotional disorders.
Do our gut microbes influence our emotions?
This sounded far-fetched a decade ago, but rodent research has shown that the microbial ecosystem in the gut (the gut microbiota) causally impacts affective processes.
The underlying microbiota-gut-brain signalling mechanisms include the capacity of the microbiota to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) from dietary fiber and to regulate inflammation.These rodent findings have great potential to identify new modifiable players in the (patho)physiolog…
