We have examined the gut microbiota, blood-brain barrier (BBB), gut-brain axis, and probiotics in previous articles in relation to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Let us look at a detailed overview of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), focusing on its mechanisms, applications, recent research (2020–2025), and connections to the BBB, microbiota, and gut-brain axis. […]
Probiotics are proven to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and alleviate symptoms. Let’s examine the relationship between the gut microbiota, the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the gut-brain axis, and the vagus nerve in Parkinson’s disease, with a focus on its mechanisms, recent research (2020–2025), and connections to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and vagus […]
The gut microbiota refers to the diverse community of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) residing in the gastrointestinal tract, which profoundly influences health, including brain function and barrier integrity. Below, I’ll provide a detailed overview of the microbiota’s composition, functions, mechanisms of interaction with the BBB and vagus nerve, and recent research findings, integrating insights […]
This is an overview of probiotics for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), focusing on their mechanisms, recent research (2020–2025), and connections to the BBB (Blood-Brain Barrier) and vagus nerve. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits, including potential neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This article integrates insights and relevant findings, […]
