Brain related disorders are among the most challenging health
issues of our time. The development of effective therapeutic and
preventive strategies for these disorders relies on a comprehensive
understanding of the underlying causative mechanisms. And, until
recently, these mechanisms have remained somewhat elusive. The
newly discovered pivotal role of the intestinal microbiome in brain
health, functionality, and resistance to disease is revolutionizing
neuroscience. The Microbiome and the Brain, through the
contributions of some of the most forward thinking researchers and
clinicians in the field, comprehensively reveals the leading edge
of our understanding of the fundamental role of gut microbes and
their metabolites in a wide array of seemingly diverse brain issues
including Alzheimer's disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, and mood
disorders. In addition, mechanisms defining these relationships are
explored along with a presentation of the state-of-the-art as it
relates to interpretation of relevant laboratory assessments.
Finally, novel therapeutic opportunities, derived from this
exciting science are presented. Readers will learn: The highly
validated relationship between alterations of gut microbes and
their metabolites, and risk for Alzheimer's disease. The important
link between autism and intestinal dysbiosis. Appropriate
interpretation of available laboratory assessments of the
intestinal microbiome. The potential role of fecal microbial
transplant in neurological diseases. The influence of diet and
other lifestyle choices on the microbiome as it relates to brain
health and functionality.
