Environmental exposure to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides has the potential to negatively influence neurodevelopment and behavior across generations indirectly through the gut-brain-microbiome axis. Potential mechanisms by which glyphosate may elicit these effects are through the disruption of the normally symbiotic relationship of the host and the gut microbiome. Given glyphosate can kill commensal members of […]

Recent advances in understanding the roles of the enteric nervous system

ENS, Gut Microbiota, Gut-Brain axis, Parkinson's Disease /

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is a vast, mesh-like network of neurons and glia embedded within the bowel wall. Through its complex circuitry and neuronal diversity, the ENS is capable of functioning autonomously but is modulated by inputs from the central nervous system (CNS). The communication between

Impact of environmental toxicants exposure on gut-brain axis in Parkinson disease

A-Synuclein, Enviromental, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut-Brain axis, Parkinson's Disease, Pre-PD /

Parkinson disease (PD) is a major public health challenge as many of the current drugs used in its management provide symptomatic relieve without preventing the underlying cause of the neurodegeneration. Similarly, the non-motor complications of PD, especially the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disturbance increases the disease burden on both the PD patient and caregivers. Different theories

Parkinson’s disease (PD) presents a common challenge for people all over the world and has become a major research hotspot due to the large population affected by the illness and the difficulty of clinical treatment. The prevalence of PD is increasing every year, the pathogenesis is complex, and the current treatment is ineffective. Therefore, it has

The global prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease is steadily increasing due to the aging population. The lack of effective drugs against these neurodegenerative disorders makes it imperative to identify new strategies for their prevention and treatment. Recent studies have revealed that harnessing the power of the gut microbiota through modification of diet may

Progression of intestinal permeability changes and alpha-synuclein expression in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multifocal degenerative disorder for which there is no cure. The majority of cases are sporadic with unknown etiology. Recent data indicate that untreated patients with de novo PD have increased colonic permeability and that both de novo and premotor patients have pathological expression of α-synuclein (α-syn) in their colon. Both

The identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is mainly dependent on motorsymptoms, while the non-motor symptoms exist even decades ahead of the PDdiagnosis. According to Braak’s hypothesis, the enteric plexus is the first affectedsite during the pathological development of PD, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptomsappear during the onset of the disease. Although GI symptoms decrease the lifequality

According to psychobiotic research expansion, the gut microbiome—a colony of more than 1000 species—is connected to brainhealth and state of mind. Historically, even though a variety of body parts and systems were linked to the nervous system in thenineteenth century, researchers began began researching the gut, especially the stomach, calling it ‘the great abdominal brain’,
