The gut–brain axis is the bidirectional communication network linking the enteric and central nervous systems through neural, immune, and hormonal pathways. It plays a crucial role in regulating mood, cognition, and stress responses, while disturbances are implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, autism, and depression.

The Gut–Brain Axis session explores how gut microbiota influence brain development, neuroinflammation, and behavior. Researchers investigate microbial metabolites, vagus nerve signaling, and immune mediators that connect gut health with brain function.

At the Gut–Brain Axis Conference, neuroscientists, gastroenterologists, and microbiologists present findings on microbiome diversity, psychobiotics, and diet-based therapies. The session covers how probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary interventions can restore microbial balance and reduce neurological symptom severity.

This interdisciplinary discussion emphasizes the importance of integrative approaches combining microbiome science, neuroendocrinology, and psychiatry. Attendees gain insights into emerging diagnostic biomarkers, therapeutic trials, and the implications of microbiota-based personalized medicine.

Recent progress in Neuroendocrinology further elucidates hormonal and metabolic crosstalk, offering new perspectives on brain–gut homeostasis and its impact on human behavior.
