NEUROPLASTICITY AND CONNECTION OF BRAIN WITH GUT MICROBIOT THROUGH GUT-BRAIN AXIS NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
Sakshi Patil*
ABSTRACT
Neuroplasticity is the capacity of the brain to change its structure as well as function in response to external stimuli, damage, and learning, it involves the production of new neurons. Previously, studies show that the brain stopped developing after childhood and neurons did not regenerate. Nevertheless, the current study shows that the brain is adaptable throughout the life. So, neuroplasticity is useful in treating neurological disorders. Trillions of microorganisms are present within our body, it is familiar that the gut has a powerful connection with the central nervous system in health and disease. The gut-brain axis is the bidirectional communication between the gut and brain.[1] Bacteria and chemicals produced in the gut can be responsible for the brain’s health so it may be possible to improve brain health. We all know that gut microbes play a critical role in the development of some neurological and neuropsychiatric problems like depression, addiction, anxiety, and Alzheimer's disease due to dysbiosis because changes in gut microbiota are detected in patients with depression. This review is designed to inspect how gut microbiota can affect neuroplasticity and also is responsible for the development of neurological disorders. In this review, we also discuss current studies that connect gut microbes to different types of neurodevelopmental conditions.[2]
Keywords: Neuroplasticity; gut brain axis; dysbiosis; neurological disorders; brain bacteria relation.
