Can Modulating Gut Microbiota Improve Neurological Health?
Research suggests that modulating the gut microbiota through probiotics, prebiotics, diet, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may have therapeutic potential for neurological disorders. For example, some studies have shown that probiotic supplementation can alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dietary interventions, such as the ketogenic diet, have shown promise in managing epilepsy and other neurological conditions by altering gut microbiota composition.
