From Microbes to Memories: Challenges and Future Perspectives Regarding the Gut-Brain Axis for Improved Cognitive Health in Alzheimer's.

The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication network between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, regulates various physiological processes crucial for health, including immune response, metabolism, and neurotransmitter production. In the context of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD), understanding the intricate connection of the gut-brain axis has gained significance. Disturbances along this axis have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing its role in AD pathogenesis.
