Mood by microbe: towards clinical translation

Timothy G Dinan, John F Cryan, Timothy G Dinan, John F Cryan

Abstract

There is a growing realization that the gut-brain axis plays a key role in maintaining brain health and the stress response. Recently, the gut microbiota has emerged as a master regulator of this axis. Thus, opportunities to exploit the microbiome to treat stress-related psychiatric disorders are materializing. Clinical validation of such strategies is now warranted.
