In August 2012 stools gained the front cover of The Economist. The issue hosted a long article on the newly discovered relationships between stool bacteria (the gut microbiota – GMB) and the human host.
The GMB has recently been reconceptualised as yet another body organ, with an intense cross-talk with a number of other organs, including the brain. The mediators of the gut-brain cross-talk are circulating mediators, neural circuits and the immune-inflammatory system. Evidence is mounting that the GMB can affect normal human behavior and some psychiatric diseases such as autism. A pivotal role of the native GMB has been demonstrated in mouse models of multiple sclerosis and brain amyloidosis.
A role of the GMB in Alzheimer’s disease would account for so far unexplained findings such as the presence of circulating biomarkers and the protective effect of certain dietary regimens.
Do not miss this first conference focusing on the extraordinary role of the GMB!
