How can gut microbes reverse brain aging?

No intelligent life on this earth is possible without the brain. Similarly the brain of a human is probably the most important organ of its body.

Studies and research are constantly being conducted to figure out ways to enhance the functioning and longevity of the brain. According to a study led by APC Microbiome Ireland (APC) SFI Research Centre at the University College Cork (UCC), gut microbes may possess the potential to reverse brain ageing. The study is published in the journal Nature Aging and is titled “Microbiota from young mice counteracts selective age-associated behavioural deficits”.

Prof John F. Cryan, Vice President for Research & Innovation, University College Cork as well as the Principal Investigator at APC Microbiome Ireland and the lead author of the study said, “Previous research published by the APC and other groups internationally has shown that the gut microbiome plays a key role in ageing and the ageing process. This new research is a potential game-changer, as we have established that the microbiome can be harnessed to reverse age-related brain deterioration. We also see evidence of improved learning ability and cognitive function.”

The results of the study suggest “that the microbiome may be a suitable therapeutic target to promote healthy ageing”. However, more study is required to get a better insight into how the potential benefits can be tapped and made useful according to human needs. Neurodegenerative diseases are a major threat that ate a consequence of the brain’s ageing. Such breakthroughs can help provide future hope to treat and manage progressive brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more.

  3. Hmm, so you want us to put poop in our brains!? 😂 I am afraid a lot of politicians already are trying this (without benefits of clinical trials), and their results are very disconcerting.
    Besides, I already discovered what is wrong with my brain: On the left side, there is nothing right and on the right side, there is nothing left. 🤪
