Linking the Gut Microbiota and Neurological Diseases

Explore how gut microbes shape brain health and disease.

Brought to you byThe Scientist

The gut microbiota affects the delicate balance of the intestinal tract as well as brain health. Researchers are hot on the trail of the gut microbiota’s role in the development and progression of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. 

Download this poster from The Scientist’s Creative Services Team to explore the link between the gut’s ecosystem of microbes and Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and psychiatric illness.
