Abstract in brief

  • The human gut contains a large and complex community of bacteria, called the microbiome, which weighs about as much as the human brain and has evolved to influence brain development and social behaviors.
  • Gut microbes produce neuroactive compounds that significantly outnumber human genes and are crucial in regulating behavior, cognition, and stress responses, acting as part of an unconscious system.
  • Research suggests that gut microbes impact mental health and behavior, and understanding this relationship could lead to better insights into cognitive and social disorders like autism.]

@TheDevilHistory Good morning. I dont know if this might help, but wanted to share something about our second brain, the alimentary canal and possibly how attention to this incredible organ with gentle selfcare might benefit IBS. I sincerely feel it's all related, sir. https://t.co/NVQKwL3JVn

Gut microbes are part of the unconscious system regulating behavior. Recent investigations indicate that these microbes majorly impact on cognitive function and fundamental behavior patterns, such as social interaction and stress management. #gut #diet https://t.co/0l0BoAnSE4.

@StormFaerywolf My biggest hurdle was learning to trust my gut. Is it possible that the memories of our ancestors are locked up in cellular structures to promote instinct and intuition? https://t.co/NVQKwL3c5P

@TheShr1nk More often than not, we're higher functioning, there is no case management and resources like employment supports and art therapy aren't available to us. I found something cool you might like too :) https://t.co/NVQKwL3c5P
