Abstract in brief

  • Psychobiotics are special probiotics that influence brain functions and behavior through the gut-brain axis, involving immune, neural, and metabolic pathways, and can improve both gut health and mental health symptoms like depression and anxiety.
  • Research in recent years shows that certain psychobiotic strains can reduce inflammation and cortisol levels, leading to improvements in anxiety, depression, and symptoms of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's.
  • While promising, current evidence on the effectiveness of psychobiotics for these neurological and psychiatric conditions is still limited, and further research is needed to understand how they work and how well they can be used as treatments.
