The Gut-Brain Axis: Dietary, Probiotic, and Prebiotic Interventions on the Microbiota

The Gut-Brain Axis: Dietary, Probiotic, and Prebiotic Interventions on the Microbiota examines the potential for microbial manipulation as a therapeutic avenue in central nervous system disorders in which an altered microbiota has been implicated, and explores the mechanisms, sometimes common, by which the microbiota may contribute to such disorders. Focuses on specific areas in which the microbiota has been implicated in gut-brain communicationExamines common mechanisms and pathways by which the microbiota may influence brain and behaviorIdentifies novel therapeutic strategies targeted toward the microbiota in the management of brain activity and behavior INDICE: Global and Epidemiological Perspectives on Diet and Mood Targeting the microbiota: Considerations for developing probiotics as functional foods Food- and non-food based strategies for effective delivery of probiotics Bioactive- and non-bioactive food constituents and their influence on the microbiome Correlating the gut microbiome to health and disease The microbiome and aging: Impact on health and wellbeing Importance of the microbiota in early life and influence on future health Utility of microbial genome sequencing in probiotic strain identification: Promises and pitfalls Germ-Free Animals: A Key Tool in Unravelling How the Microbiota Affects Brain and Behavior Sensitivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to the gut microbiota: Opportunities for dietary intervention A neuroactive microbiome The influence of diet and the gut microbiota in schizophrenia Influence of the microbiota on the development and function of the second brain - the enteric nervous system Dietary inventions and brain-gut disorders Altering the gut microbiome for cognitive benefit? The role of the microbiota in neurodevelopmental disorders The role of the microbiota and potential for dietary intervention in chronic fatigue syndrome Potential for pre - and probiotics in managing psychological symptoms associated with alcohol-dependence Where next for dietary intetventions and the brain-gut axis? Perspectives on targeting the microbiome in developing global populations Regulatory considerations for the use and marketing of probiotics and functional foods Microbiota and Metabolism
