Gut–brain axis and neuropsychiatric health: recent advances by Ceymi Doenyas, Gerard Clarke, Renáta Cserjési

“…Recent studies have underscored the role of the gut microbiome in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), with evidence indicating that gut dysfunction and pathological features can precede motor symptoms by decades. The use of in vivo animal models has demonstrated that preformed α-synuclein fibrils (PFFs) can travel from the gut to the brain in a dosage-dependent manner, thereby supporting the “gut-first” theory in the context of PD, a theory that is explored in this Collection using in vitro approaches. …”
